There's been a mass exodus of players at AS Monaco with Kylian Mbappe set to be the latest to leave the Stade Louis II.

And the club have reportedly drawn up a three man shortlist as they find a replacement for the teenage sensation.

Following his heroics last season, Mbappe caught the eye of Europe's elite with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester City weighing up offers.

Though domestic rivals Paris Saint-Germain are set to swoop in for the talented striker as they've had a monstrous £166 million bid accepted.

With Mbappe moving across France, AS Monaco are now seeking to fill his proverbial large boots.

According to Sky Sports, the defending French champions are interested in signing Leicester City's Islam Slimani, Chelsea's Diego Costa and Torino's Andrea Belotti.

The Algerian striker arrived in the Premier League after completing a £28 million transfer from Sporting Lisbon, and he bagged seven league goals in his debut season.

Leicester City conceded the Premier League title to Chelsea last season with Diego Costa returning to form. The Spaniard netted 20 goals but was informed over the close season by Antonio Conte that he was no longer required.

Since the text messages, Costa has been subject to intense transfer speculation with a move back to Atletico Madrid his preferred choice.

As well as the La Liga outfit, the likes of Everton, AC Milan and clubs in China have been heavily linked with his goal scoring services.

Finally, AS Monaco are also keen on the red-hot Belotti. The prolific Italian rose to prominence last season after scoring 26 goals in the Scudetto campaign.

The 23-year-old still remains a Torino player despite the rampant interest. Chelesa, AC Milan, among others, have expressed a strong desire.
