REAL MADRID are still hopeful of completing a deal for Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe, reports claim.
And that optimism is reflected in Sky Bet's 'Next Club' betting market with Carlo Ancelotti's side odds-on at 4/6 to clinch the Frenchman's signature this summer.

Mbappe sent shockwaves across Europe when revealing that he would not exercise an option to extend his contract beyond June 2024.
The 22-year-old has since made it public that he intends to continue at PSG for the 2023-24 campaign.
However, ESPN claim the player would rather sign for Real Madrid, who are prepared to make a 'significant effort' to bring him to the Bernabeu in the coming months.
Furthermore, French champions PSG would like to sell him this summer for a bumper fee to ease their FFP restrictions, and don't want to risk losing him on a free transfer.
The Madrid heavyweights are cautious and have a reluctance to speak openly about any potential deal given his late U-turn in the summer of 2021.

And though they've already signed Spain international Joselu, he's been given the No. 14 shirt, meaning Karim Benzema's No. 9 is still available.
Another 12 months at PSG has drifted to 7/4 having been the most likely outcome for several weeks.
Manchester United follow at 6/1 with Erik ten Hag desperate to sign a centre-forward.
The Red Devils have pulled out of the race to sign Tottenham star Harry Kane because the financial package was deemed to be too high.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle are all locked together at 40/1, behind Manchester City at 33/1.
