After lots of stories, rumours and twists and turns, the Mbappe saga is about to come to an end. The French footballer, who announced in an awards ceremont on Sunday that his decision had almost been made, will have a final meeting with his family and inner cricle on Tuesday once he gets back from Qatar.
That is what Fabrizio Romano reports. He adds that the footballer's plan is to have everything decided before publicly announcing his decision. There are two paths: either stay at PSG or leave for Real Madrid, a team that have been after him since he went to Monaco.
At the same time, the Italian journalist has said that Madrid, who have still yet to hold talks with PSG, are waiting for the footballer's final steps. Madrid are more than confident about Mbappe joining the club.
Mbappe himself said that he would announce his decision before linking up with the French national team. That will be on 28th May, the same day as the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool.
Many say that Mbappe could announce the news on the same Madrid could win the Champions League. The saga is coming to an end and everything is in the hands of the French attacker.
Not even Qatar's riches have been able to persuade Mbappe to stay. 'Marca' takes it as a given that an agreement has been reached between the player and Real Madrid which would see the Frenchman have a contract until 2027 and a salary of 25 million euros net a season. Likewise, the transfer bonus could be between 80 and 100 million euros and he would have a multi-million euro buyout clause.
Real Madrid supporters, who are very keen to win their 14th Champions League after clinching the La Liga title, could finish the season in style: another Champions League trophy and the arrival of Kylian Mbappe.
For now, 'AS' writes that Real Madrid's plan, if the footballer reveals he will not play for PSG next season, is to not announce his signing untuk after the final.
