The new Galactico! Kylian Mbappe already signing Real Madrid shirts as World Cup winner prepares to complete transfer from Paris Saint-Germain

The France international has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/kylian-mbappe-psg-exit-real-madrid-transfer-summer/blt0babc3165af5d51f" target="_blank">confirmed that he will be severing ties with Paris Saint-Germain</a> when his contract with the Ligue 1 champions comes to a close. He will be walking away from Parc des Princes as the club’s all-time leading goalscorer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The expectation is that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/next-galactico-kylian-mbappe-five-years-real-madrid-france-international-premier-league-move-psg/blt1790a2667c62e814" target="_blank">Santiago Bernabeu will be the next port of call for Mbappe</a>, with Real having made him a top target for some time now. The 25-year-old is ready to embrace a new challenge, telling <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomsanderson/2024/05/30/kylian-mbappe-says-he-cant-wait-to-join-real-madrid-but-wont-support-it-in-ucl-final/?sh=507e16d86ba0 " target="_blank">Forbes</a>: “I want to be happy. I will leave my country for the first time. It’s going to be an amazing experience and I can’t wait to be in my new club. I want to win trophies … When you speak about football, [it’s about] winning trophies, being with new team-mates.”

WHAT MBAPPE SAID

There has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-squad-number-kylian-mbappe-take-real-madrid-vinicius-jr-iconic-no-7-jersey/bltad46df7ee92a9a54" target="_blank">no official announcement in Madrid as yet</a>, but Mbappe has been getting acquainted with a new fan base while on duty with his country – with one lucky supporter getting the World Cup winner to sign his shirt.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Mbappe is said to be agreeing a pay cut in order to join the Blancos, with money not a motivating factor for a man that has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/kylian-mbappe-offered-200m-deal-real-madrid-release-clause-al-hilal-unsettled-psg-superstar/blt8782daae9e828f5d" target="_blank">already shunned the riches on offer in Saudi Arabia</a> in order to remain in the hunt for the biggest prizes on offer in European football.
