Real Madrid are reportedly plotting a further three signings following the stunning capture of Kylian Mbappe.
With only an official announcement waiting, the 25-year-old is set to sign a five-year contract and join the 15-time European champions on July 1 once his Paris Saint-Germain deal expires.
In addition to becoming their highest-earner with £12.8 million per year, Mbappe is in line to bag a huge £86 million signing-on bonus.
Mbappe, a top target since he exploded onto the scene in 2016, is Real's latest Galactico signing.

However, despite both he and Brazil's 17-year-old sensation Endrick joining this summer, Los Blancos will not be stopping there.
Toni Kroos is retiring but Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez are staying put, while a trio of signings are being lined up.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Real are huge admirers of Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies, who scored against them in the Champions League semi-final.
They also like the look of starlets Leny Yoro and Franco Mastantuono, of Lille and River Plate respectively, as they continue to build a super-team for the future.
"For now obviously the plan is to announce this historic Mbappe signing, and after that they want to sign the new deals for Luka Modric and Lucas Vazquez," Romano said in his column for Caught Offside.
"Then we’ll have to see what they decide to do as they have other interesting targets.
“One name, as mentioned before, is Alphonso Davies. We’ll have to see what happens on that as it’s gone a bit quiet while we wait on the player’s decision after Bayern Munich offered him a new contract. Leny Yoro also remains on their list but it will depend on what kind of price tag Lille ask for. 16-year-old River Plate wonderkid Franco Mastantuono is also being monitored.”
It remains to be seen as to how Carlo Ancelotti will be able to fit all the players into his starting XI, with a formation tweak potentially on the cards.
