A host of European giants such as Champions League winners Madrid and a host of Premier League clubs have been trying to seal a deal for the striker.
But it is PSG who appear to have finally won the race for Mbappe, according to Marca.
And it has been the huge financial package on offer that has swung the potential £183m deal in their favour.
The France international is due to pocket a whopping £265,000-a-week at the Parc des Princes, where he will line-up in attack with the world’s most-expensive player Neymar.
Madrid were also willing to meet the huge asking price set by Monaco.
However, they were unable to strike a deal with the player’s representatives when it came to his pay packet.
