The France captain informed his PSG colleagues last week that he will leave the club as a free agent at the end of the 2023-24 season. Since his revelation, Mbappe has been linked with a host of suitors including <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-lost-focus-kylian-mbappe-transfer-saga-carlo-ancelotti-la-liga-leaders-play-different-game-draw-rayo-vallecano/bltb868fe5b4ffe8cf5" target="_blank">long-standing admirers Real Madrid </a>and Premier League giants Liverpool and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kylian-mbappe-man-city-agent-premier-league-psg-exit-real-madrid/blta3dec9035093de76" target="_blank">Manchester City</a>. But <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2024/02/19/65d28546268e3ebb6e8b4575.html" target="_blank">Marca</a> reports that the 25-year-old already has an agreement in place with Los Blancos and will be <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kylian-mbappe-handed-iconic-shirt-number-real-madrid-not-wear-cristiano-ronaldo-7/blt0ef12adf04925127" target="_blank">formally unveiled by the club in the summer</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The report claims that the Spanish giants first contacted the player in the first week of January to check if he was still interested in joining them. After getting the attacker's approval, managing director Jose Angel Sanchez started negotiating terms with him and his mother and agent Fayza Lamari over a five-year deal. While Real reportedly compromised on the player's image rights, his wages will be substantially lower than what he was paid in the last two years in Paris. Mbappe, though, will still become the club's highest-paid player and is likely to earn in the region of €15m (£13m/$16m) to €20m (£17m/$22m) per year, plus bonuses based on objectives.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

La Liga leaders Real are likely to unveil the star footballer in front of their fans sometime in July, possibly between his participation in the Euros and Paris Olympics for the France national team.

DID YOU KNOW?

For now, Mbappe remains focused on Les Parisiens who currently have a 13-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table and are on course to win yet another title. He will be next seen in action against Rennes on Sunday.
