Paris, Aug 12: AS Monaco sensation Kylian Mbappe is keen on a move to Paris Saint-Germain to form a new-look attack with Neymar but no agreement is in place as of now.

However, the 18-year-old is believed to be keen on a move to Parc des Princes and PSG hope they can convince their rivals to sell.

Mbappe, 18, has caught the eye of the whole of Europe with his excellent breakthrough season last time out which ended in Monaco winning the Ligue 1 from the clutches of PSG and also a long run in the Champions League.

French media claim that PSG are currently undergoing a restructuring of their ambitious project with the goal of European success, and part of sporting director Antero Henrique, chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi and coach Unai Emery's joint vision is a team that features Mbappe and Neymar in the attack.

With the Brazil international already on board after his world-record €222 million move from Barcelona, PSG have now focused the majority of their attention on securing the second-star name they see as vital to the regeneration of their project, Mbappe.

Henrique and his assistant Maxwell, however, are not neglecting other areas and are expected to make the arrival of defender Juan Foyth official soon and remain keen to bring in a defensive midfielder -- ideally Monaco's Fabinho -- and possibly a goalkeeper.

Real Madrid are also in the running to sign the coveted French youngster but have been baffled by the demands of AS Monaco. And, they might have to regret on their delay as PSG are right now favourites for the 18-year-old who is destined to become one of the best players in coming years.

The attacker scored 24 goals in 40 appearances across all competitions last season and produced a number of man of the match displays in Champions league, scoring five goals in four knockout games and could be an invaluable addition to PSG.
