Kylian Mbappe is all set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, as per multiple reports. His seven year spell with Paris Saint-Germain came to an end as the 25-year-old decided not to renew his contract with the French giants.
Eminent journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Mbappe has already signed the contract with the club and Real Madrid are now expected to make the announcement next week.
He posted on X, “Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, HERE WE GO! Every document has been signed, sealed and completed.
“Real Madrid, set to announce Mbappé as new signing next week after winning the Champions League.
“Mbappé made his decision in February; he can now be considered new Real player.”
Madrid defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 to lift the UEFA Champions League title at the Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
Mbappe already had announced his decision as he posted a video on social media stating that he is not going to extend his association with PSG beyond this season.
“.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday.”
There had been massive debate over Mbappe’s future and Real Madrid have always been at the forefront. France is currently preparing for the upcoming Euro 2024 and manager Didier Deschamps ensured that any announcement by Madrid will not disrupt the French camp.
Mbappe will lead France’s challenge in Euro 2024 which is scheduled to be held in Germany this time. France are also poised to participate in the Paris Olympics and it remains to be seen whether Madrid allow their potential new signing to play his trade for his country in the mega event.
Following Madrid’s 15th Champions League triumph, Carlo Ancelotti was quizzed on Mbappe’s arrival but the Italian manager refused to draw any conclusion.
