Manchester City met with one of Kylian Mbappe's agent the day before he told PSG he wants to leave, according to reports in Spain.
Club officials reportedly spoke with one of the forward's representatives in an informal capacity on Monday.
On Tuesday, Mbappe told PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi that he wishes to leave in the summer, and by Thursday it was public knowledge.
Real Madrid are the favourites to snatch Mbappe when his contract expires in June and Mail Sport reported that they have the green light to sign him.
