Mbappé to join Real Madrid at end of season
PARIS, — France captain Kylian Mbappé will join LaLiga giants Real Madrid when his contract with Paris St Germain (PSG) finishes at the end of the season, Le Parisien and ESPN reported on Saturday.
Mr. Mbappé said last year he would not renew his contract at the Ligue 1 side when it expired at the end of the 2023-24 campaign, allowing him to move on to another club on a free transfer.
French newspaper Le Parisien and ESPN, citing sources, said the 25-year-old striker would announce a pre-contract agreement with the 14-times European champions next week. Media reports last September said Mr. Mbappé had agreed to forego loyalty bonuses worth up to €100 million ($107.84 million) to leave PSG as a free agent.
Mr. Mbappé was heavily linked with a move to Real in 2022 but announced a contract extension with PSG just weeks before the transfer window opened. — Reuters
