JUVENTUS are ready to try and convince Paris-Saint Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe that his future belongs in Italy and not at Real Madrid, according to reports.
The Old Lady are growing increasingly confident that the 20-year-old is looking to leave the French giants at the end of the season.

Mbappe’s current contract in Paris expires in the summer of 2022 and he has no plans to extend it.
That means the club will be left with no option but to listen to the best offers across Europe or risk his value dropping.
Juventus are right in the mix as they eye a new world star to replace Cristiano Ronaldo in the long run.
Ronaldo turns 35 in February and his days at the highest level of world football are limited.
Juve president Paolo Aicari has already revealed: “Our next bet is to hire the next Cristiano but younger.”
The club are desperate to win the Champions League after eight straight domestic titles and believe Mbappe could be the missing link.
But according to TuttoSport, they are braced to face serious competition from Real Madrid who are preparing to launch a stunning offer of their own.
Los Blancos are said to be trying to put together the finances to launch a world record £342million bid for the forward.
And they have been further boosted by the news after reports suggest the player’s mum and agent have insisted he is ready for a new challenge.
While it could all come down to who offers the best pay packet, Juventus will do their utmost to convince Mbappe that his future belongs in Serie A.
