French newspaper "Le Parisien" and sports network "ESPN" reported last night that "the captain of the French national football team, Kylian Mbappé, will join Spanish club Real Madrid when his current contract with French champion Paris Saint-Germain ends at the end of the current season." "Le Parisien" and "ESPN" cited sources indicating that "the French international forward will announce a preliminary agreement with the Spanish giant, who has won the European title 14 times, next week." Mbappé (25 years old) stated last year that he would not renew his contract with the Parisian club when it expires at the end of the 2023-2024 season, allowing him to join another team for free. In 2022, there were many reports about Mbappé's potential move to Real Madrid, but he announced the extension of his contract with PSG only weeks before the transfer window opened.
