The future of Kylian Mbappe is set to become one of the longest running sagas of the transfer window, but it appears he is set for at least one money-spinning deal.
The Monaco star is being chased by Real Madrid, Liverpool, Arsenal and a host of other clubs after scoring 26 goals in an outstanding breakthrough season.
Though where he plays next season has yet to be decided, the boots he will wear could become clear very soon.

The French striker has become embroiled in a tug-of-war between the two biggest sport manufacturers in the game - adidas and Nike, according to Spanish publication Sport.
The 18-year-old has been contracted to Nike since making his professional debut, but with his deal coming to an end adidas are now prepared to offer him an enormous deal to become their latest star performer.
In fact, the German company are prepared to make Mbappe their top-earner at £4.4m per year.
