EXCL: What are the final details of the Mbappe to Real Madrid saga? Plus PSG's top transfer target, Zidane-Bayern links, and more

Our man in France with an exclusive update on Mbappe, Zidane and much more!

What still needs to be done in the Kylian Mbappe Real Madrid transfer saga?

Since my last column, Kylian Mbappe has confirmed to Nasser Al-Khelaifi that he plans to leave PSG at the end of his contract this summer. While that communication has now been made, there is still no official communication that Mbappe has reached an agreement with Real Madrid. There’s still nothing signed, despite some reports stating that it’s a done deal, to all intents and purposes.

We don’t have anything official from PSG or Real Madrid yet either, but what we do know is that PSG probably won’t announce Mbappe’s departure until he’s communicated that he’s signed a contract with Real Madrid. Another key detail in terms of the timing of all this could be when it becomes clear whether or not the two clubs can meet in the Champions League this season.
