The elder Mbappé will be announced later this month in a mega player presentation that will involve a walkway built from the dressing room to the pitch and live music performances.
But his brother, Ethan, 17, is looking to “advance his career” and step out of his superstar brother’s shadow.
He signed a free transfer to Ligue 1 club Lille and signed a three-year contract with the northern French side.
Speaking after the club announced the move, Ethan said: “For me, at my age, staying in France was the best option to progress.
“I think LOSC was the best project. It is one of the best in France.
“I’m looking forward to starting this adventure and meeting my new teammates, the coaching staff and also the fans.
“It’s a real pride to be able to play here.”
His new contract with Lille represents the first professional contract of his career, as he was still signed as a young player at PSG.

The player made five professional appearances for PSG’s first team and played mainly in the youth teams during his time in the French capital.
He joined PSG’s youth set-up in 2017 when Kylian completed his £166m move from Monaco.
Unlike Kylian, Ethan is a central midfielder who can also play in defensive midfield.
He will wear number 29 at Lille, the same number Kylian initially wore when he arrived at PSG from Monaco.
Lille finished fourth in Ligue 1 last season, earning them a place in the Europa League.
