Real Madrid are reportedly ready to sign Kylian Mbappe's Paris Saint-Germain teammate in a bid to convince him to join.
Mbappe is widely expected to join Los Blancos on a free transfer in the summer, having informed PSG that he will not be extending his contract at the Parc des Princes after seven years.
The France forward has been linked with Real for a number of years now and it's claimed that he will pen a five-year contract with the 14-time European champions.

Mbappe is set to earn around £12.8 million-a-year after tax but is in line to receive an enormous, world-record £128 million signing-on bonus.
However, a new report from OK Diario states that Real are poised to sign Mbappe's younger brother Ethan as part of a stunning double deal.
The 17-year-old, who has played three times for the PSG first-team this season, will also be a free agent when June 30 rolls around.
Speaking on El Chiringuito, OK Diario director Eduardo Inda said that the Mbappe circle are keen for Ethan to also move to Real.
Florentino Perez is set to agree to the request, which would see Mbappe link up with Real's Castilla outfit.
Mbappe recently attended a dinner with France president Emmanuel Macron, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and the Emir of Qatar and denied reports that he has agreed a deal to move to Real.
He was surprisingly substituted in the 65th minute of the 1-1 draw with Rennes at the weekend, with manager Luis Enrique giving a simple explanation afterwards.
He said: "It’s very simple, sooner or later, when it happens we have to get used to playing without Kylian. When I want to play like this, I will, when I don’t, I won’t.
“It’s very easy, there are competitions and my intention is not to give ‘free’ minutes, I want maximum competitiveness. Every player has to deserve their playing time.”
