Mbappe’s Move
It seems like the Mbappe saga is really heating up, especially with those whispers from MARCA claiming he’s all set to join Real Madrid. According to some unnamed sources, he’s already put pen to paper on a deal with the Spanish giants.
Signs of Departure
Word on the street, backed up by reports from The Athletic, is that Mbappe has let PSG know he’s planning to leave once his contract wraps up by the end of June.
And MARCA’s latest scoop? They’re saying Mbappe and Real Madrid sealed the deal about two weeks back, setting the stage for his big move on July 1. It’s a major move for both the player and the club, no doubt.

History Repeats
This whole Mbappe-to-Madrid storyline isn’t exactly new. Remember back in 2017 when there were talks about him joining Los Blancos? He ended up choosing PSG over Real Madrid. Then, again in 2022, just when it seemed like he might be up for grabs, he stuck with PSG after they dangled a fat paycheck in front of him, topping Forbes’ list of highest-paid soccer stars.
Commitment to Madrid
Now, despite some hints that he might stay put, the latest buzz suggests he’s fully committed to Real Madrid. Apparently, he’s even advised PSG against trying to sweeten the deal with new offers.
Rumor has it, when Mbappe had that sit-down with PSG’s big boss, Nasser Al Khelaifi, to break the news, he made it clear they shouldn’t bother coming up with any counteroffers. Supposedly, he’s already put his John Hancock on a five-year contract with Real Madrid’s head honcho, Florentino Perez.
PSG’s Response
For PSG, it looks like the focus is now on making sure Mbappe keeps his end of the bargain for the rest of the season, even though he’s reportedly giving up a hefty loyalty bonus to make this move to Madrid happen, as per France 24.
