The French club are trying to keep their star striker for at least another season.
The 23-year-old’s contract expires next summer and there is big interest from Real Madrid over a move to the Spanish capital.
PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi is believed to be so desperate for the superstar to stay that they are willing to offer him a £150million signing-on fee.
L’Equipe have confirmed that the family trip is happening and a bidding war is taking place between the two teams.
Marca report that PSG are “optimistic” of a deal being completed.
The winger’s mother, Fayza Lamari, will head to Madrid to discuss image rights, following a week in Doha.
And Sport in Spain reckon that Mbappe and his party have asked for a whopping £100m more than previously agreed.
This would be enough to force Los Blancos to pull out the deal and line up a stay in Paris.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side tried to sign him in the summer but couldn’t agree a deal and this huge signing-on fee may delay the transfer again.
PSG’s current offer includes a £21m annual salary according to journalist Guillem Balague.
He also reports that PSG had already put a £125m signing-on fee deal on the table but are now willing to up it by £25m.
Speaking earlier this month after a brace versus Lorient, Mbappe said: “I haven’t made my decision, there are new elements to consider.”
Mbappe has scored an incredible 33 goals this season as PSG sit comfortably at the top of Ligue 1.
But the so far elusive Champions League is what they aim for and keeping hold of Mbappe is key in bettering their chances of European glory.
