Kylian Mbappe agrees to join Real Madrid in summer 2024: Reports

Kylian Mbappe will be out of contract in the summer

According to a report from Le Parisien, Kylian Mbappe will leave PSG and join Spanish giants Real Madrid in the summer of 2024.

Real Madrid are a long-time admirer of the Frenchman and made a few offers in 2023 to persuade him away from the French capital. However, the report adds that claiming this is a done deal would be ‘false’.

It is thought that Mbappe will soon announce his intention to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season and join Madrid on a free transfer. The French captain had come close to making this move in May 2022. 

However, the star had been persuaded to extend his contract in Paris for another two years. It appeared likely that Mbappe would be leaving at the end of this season, but still, PSG held out hope that they might keep a player born and raised in Paris to lead their project and their feverous pursuit for a first Champions League trophy.

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano earlier reported that both clubs were expecting the striker to announce his decision soon. The Spanish club is also working hard behind the scenes to secure a move.

Mbappé reached an agreement in August with PSG president Nasser Al Khelaïfi, in which the player agreed to forgo an €80m loyalty bonus so that PSG would not suffer a financial loss if he did not sign a contract renewal.

“The battle is lost,” adds the report in Le Parisien, alluding to the clues Mbappé has given in recent weeks regarding a possible renewal, including the letter he sent to PSG in June, in which he formally declined to execute a renewal clause until 2025.

There is still a wait for an official announcement.
