Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid - here we go!

As reported yesterday, Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid is ‘here we go’ - every document is signed, and the French superstar can be considered a new Real Madrid player, joining the European champions as a free agent from Paris Saint-Germain.

Mbappe will be officially announced soon, it’s being prepared by Real Madrid as they look to unveil the new star of their project. Even though Mbappe is technically still contracted to PSG until the end of this month, they have given the green light for Real Madrid to formally announce their new signing.

This deal has been in the works for some time, with Mbappe deciding back in February not to sign a new contract with PSG, while even a few months before that it was a tense situation between Mbappe and his club as he informed them he would not trigger the option to extend his contract for a further year until 2025, which was one of the options included when he signed his new deal with PSG back in 2022. At that time, however, even though he rejected Real Madrid, he spoke with Florentino Perez directly and apologised, making it clear his dream was always to wear the Real Madrid shirt. And now it’s happening - Mbappe already has a house in Madrid and has prepared for his private life in the Spanish capital.
