On Thursday, it was widely reported that Kylian Mbappe had told Paris Saint-Germain that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season, upon the expiry of his contract. The 24-year-old’s future at the French champions has been the subject of significant speculation for many months, and it now looks to have been solved.
However, what isn’t yet known is where Mbappe will end up in the summer. Real Madrid are firm favourites to finally get their man, although at this stage, no agreement has been reached between the two parties.
Despite this, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Los Blancos have “total confidence” that they will be able to reach an agreement with Mbappe in the coming weeks and months. They are continuing discussions with Mbappe’s representatives in order to find a resolution.

It would be a major coup for Real Madrid if they are to get Mbappe, and on a free transfer too. While it’s not done yet, the expectations are that the French forward will be wearing the famous white jersey from next season onwards.
