A recent piece in the Spanish newspaper MARCA unveiled that the talented French striker has officially penned a 5-year contract with the Spanish giants, set to commence on July 1.
The 25-year-old's transfer saga to the Bernabeu has been a prolonged affair. Real Madrid initially expressed interest in Mbappe back in 2017 when he burst onto the scene as a teenage sensation at Monaco.
On February 15, Mbappe communicated to Paris Saint-Germain officials his intention to depart once his contract concludes at the end of the season, according to a source close to the Ligue 1 champions. Mbappe, who arrived in Paris from Monaco in 2017, had previously extended his contract in 2022 until 2024 but declined last summer to activate a clause enabling him to remain an additional year at PSG.
The move to Real Madrid has long been anticipated for Mbappe, with negotiations reportedly underway with the Spanish giants, as indicated by a source familiar with the matter. However, the terms of the departure are yet to be finalized, with an official announcement expected from both parties in the coming months.
While PSG and Real Madrid have refrained from making formal statements regarding the player, uncertainties still linger over Mbappe's future.
