Real Madrid are set to hand Kylian Mbappe a monstrous signing on bonus, according to stunning reports.
Mbappe has been the subject of intense transfer speculation as he enters the final six months of his Paris Saint-Germain contract.
But it has been claimed that the superstar forward has decided to join the Spanish giants once his deal with PSG expires this summer, with Vinicius Junior dropping a hint over the proposed move.
He is expected to announce his decision to sign for the 14-time European champions next week.

The 25-year-old has not yet informed PSG or Real, but his decision has been made, per sources.
Real, however, remain adamant that they won't smash their current wage structure to acquire Mbappe's services.
He currently earns a £21 million net salary, which the La Liga side won't match.
Real's top earners are Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham, who both earn a £10 million net salary, with incremental rises factored into their contracts in the coming seasons.
But, according to The Daily Mail, a signing on bonus of around £85 million would compensate the World Cup winner having to lower his basic salary.
A compromise could also be worked out in regards to his images rights that can be worth millions per year.
Real could allow Mbappe a 60-40 split in his favour to further sweeten his deal, having historically taken 50 per cent of their top signings' image rights.
Mbappe has been at PSG since the 2017/18 season following his blockbuster transfer from AS Monaco, where he rose to prominence.
He's scored a staggering 241 goals in 288 matches in all competitions for PSG and has helped his side to five Ligue 1 titles. This season, he has an impressive 29 goals to his name.
But Mbappe has failed to win the Champions League in his club career.
He's also scored 46 goals for France, famously winning the World Cup in 2018.
