THE deal that would see Kylian Mbappe make his way to Spain and become a Real Madrid player in July is still far from being completed despite rumours of the deal being finalised.
Mbappe’s current deal with PSG will expire at the end of the season. The 25-year-old has refused to extend his contract with the Ligue 1 champions and will leave the club this summer.
A report from a news outlet earlier suggested that Mbappe has already put pen to paper on the deal with Real Madrid, but it appears they are yet to reach that stage as football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano claims the deal is not yet completed.
“There is no clarity on the announcement yet. I don’t have a specific date now; they are still working on the details of the deal, and then it will be announced as soon as they sign,” Romano told The Daily Briefing.
Real Madrid has always shown interest in Mbappe as far back as 2021, but one thing or the other has prevented the World Cup winner from joining the Laliga side.
With things going according to plan, Mbappe, who has scored 244 goals and produced 93 assists in 291 games for PSG, could eventually become a Madrid player as he is open to taking a pay cut just to join the club.
