'Marca': Mbappe's agreement with Real Madrid completed and no way back

There is no way back. Even though the silence and lack of official confirmation has been a constant in the last few months, 'Marca' says that the Frenchman's visit to the Spanish capital at the start of the week was the start of an agreement being reached. 

The recently cited source indicates that Jose Angel Sanchez, the Real Madrid director general, stopped everything he was doing to focus on getting the striker's approval. In fact, there were meetings with agents of other players which he had had to cancel in order to try and complete the signing of the summer. His success will leave Liverpool out of the equation after 'The Independent' said that they were back in the running. 

Real Madrid's plan is to let the footballer reveal the decision when he feels it is right. From 1st January, the board were able to contact with him directly, but they have not done so. They have based their strategy on believing that the Frenchman wants to sign for a club with a historic past, a successful present and a promising future. 

The feeling at Real Madrid is of joy, of calm. They are aware that there is no turning back at Kylian Mbappe, who will make his move to Real Madrid public in a couple of weeks. He himself said that he will announce it before the French national team come together at the end of the month.
