Both have been the subject of transfer talk in recent weeks, so the French club will be eager to get the deals completed.

Leonardo said talks are advancing with the duo, so the contracts could be finalised soon, per Fabrizio Romano.

He said: “We are in talks with Kylian Mbappe and advancing. We are arriving at decision time soon. Dialogue is good.

“We are also on the right track with Neymar. However, it is not signed just yet.”

Recent reports suggest Mbappe was unwilling to commit to a new deal before the end of this season.

This update is a positive step for PSG and Leonardo is confident with the “path” Mbappe is on currently.

If the pair fail to agree deals they could be available in the summer.

However, given their wages and the likely transfer fee involved, few clubs could afford them.

Real Madrid have repeatedly been linked to Mbappe, while Liverpool are also believed to be interested.

As for Neymar, he confirmed he wants to remain in Paris recently and begged Mbappe to stay with him.

PSG are also going strong in Europe and a Champions League win could convince Mbappe that PSG are the right club for him.
