According to Spanish outlet will be revealed as a Madrid player on Thursday, June 6. The Frenchman is set to arrive in Spain next week to sign for Los Blancos before being officially unveiled in their traditional style to the press and fanbase.
WHAT MBAPPE SAID
Speaking to Forbes about his future as he prepares to leave Paris, Mbappe said: “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.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Madrid have been attempting to bring Mbappe to the Bernabeu Stadium since 2017. The Spanish giants came close last season, until the forward signed a contract extension at PSG, which caused them to act ‘differently’ this time round. Mbappe will end his current deal at the Parc des Princes in June and will be free to join Madrid as a free agent.
WHAT NEXT FOR MBAPPE
Currently, Mbappe is focused on Euro 2024 with the French national team. He will feature in a friendly against Luxembourg next Wednesday and will then travel to Spain to complete the deal before he jets off to Germany with the national team. France manager Didier Deschamps has previously outlined that he wanted Mbappe’s future to be resolved before the tournament begins for Les Bleus on June 15.
