The objective behind the meeting is to clear the air after a chaotic end to the season and understand everything that has happened over recent months.
Mbappeās difficult second campaign at Real Madrid has been filled with tension.
Furthermore, injuries, criticism from supporters, the controversial trip to Italy during recovery and growing pressure at the Santiago Bernabeu have all contributed to an increasingly uncomfortable atmosphere around the Frenchman.

Despite the growing noise surrounding the player, the club hierarchy still sees Mbappe as central to Real Madridās future, as Perez has said in his recent press conference.
The presidentās priority now is to restore unity and ensure the French superstar remains fully committed mentally and professionally heading into next season.
Within the club, there is awareness that tensions between players, coaching staff and supporters have become increasingly visible during a disappointing campaign without major trophies.
That is why Florentinoās direct involvement feels significant.
