Mbappé set to join PSG on loan with option to buy for €155m

Paris Saint-Germain reached a deal with Monaco to sign Kylian Mbappé on loan for one season with an option to sign the 18-year-old for €155m (£143m) plus a series of add-ons that could see the transfer cost a total €190m (£175m).

PSG were locked in talks with Monaco and Uefa over the past week to try to reach a deal that would not contravene financial fair play rules after they signed Neymar from Barcelona for €222m (£198m) earlier this summer.

On Sunday night PSG concluded a deal in which Mbappé would join the club on an initial loan but without an obligation to buy.

Both clubs are in agreement that the transfer will go through next summer but that is not believed to have been written into the loan deal.

PSG are expected to pay a significant loan fee for a player who took Ligue 1 and the Champions League by storm last season. It is understood the transfer will get the green light from Uefa.

Mbappé has already agreed a five-year deal with PSG and is ready to have a medical in the capital on Monday.
