'ESPN': PSG give up and accept Mbappe will play for Madrid

PSG have given up. They are convinced that Kylian Mbappe, when he announces his big decision, will confirm that he will play for Real Madrid next season and they have accepted it. 'ESPN' reports that sources at the French club have admitted they have no doubt the striker will join Carlo Ancelotti's ranks.

It is a difficult defeat to swallow at the Parc des Princes. Their offices had prepared a very substantial renewal proposal to make the player happy so that he would agree to stay in the French capital for many years to come. Money, control over his brand image... it's tough - for the Parisians - but nothing has been enough to keep him, even if he himself has yet to make it known in public.

The potential signing of the Frenchman has been the main topic in the football world on a daily routine since last summer, when the board led by Florentino Perez tried to avoid waiting another year. He launched an offer of around 200 million euros that was rejected. Now, it won't take a single euro: he will arrive on a free.

It will be necessary to reach an agreement with Mbappe on the financial side of things, because, after all, his arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu will have a huge financial impact and he will have to make a profit from it. In fact, a very high signing bonus has already been revealed, which could make his arrival official.
