Kylian Mbappe will have the pick of Europe's elite clubs when the 21-year-old sensation makes his next move, but PSG claim the star is a step closer to staying-put in Paris.
The forward's deal with the French champions is set to expire in the summer of 2022 and the former Monaco wonderkid has stalled talks over a new contract.
Mbappe has considered an exit from PSG before and links to Real Madrid will not subside. The star spoke of being open to a 'new project' in 2019 before finally deciding to stay - reaching the Champions League final last term.
While Mbappe's admiration for Real Madrid is well known, sporting director Leonardo is convinced PSG are closing in on an extension for the phenomenon.
'We're talking. We want to discuss, and he also wants to discuss. Now is also the time to come to a clearer idea of his future,' Leonardo told Canal+ on Saturday.
'It is going well. We have taken steps forward compared to 10, 15 days ago and we will continue.'
Mbappe bagged his first goal in four games on Saturday, scoring in injury-time to bury Montpellier's hopes in a 3-1 Ligue 1 victory.
The Frenchman was enduring a brief slump in form, with the forward yet to open his account in the Champions League this season.
His prolific start to the 2020-21 season ensures the Frenchman is still among Europe's most prolific scorers, with 10 goals in his nine French top-flight appearances so far.
