The long-awaited move is finally set to happen
Kylian Mbappe has chosen to join Real Madrid in the summer.
According to ESPN, the Frenchman will leave Paris Saint-Germain in the summer – when his contract expires – and make the move to Spain.
Madrid made a contract offer to the 2018 World Cup winner last month and is expected to announce his decision to join Los Blancos next week.
The 14-time European champions have spent years trying to pursue the forward and have finally landed their man following two previous failed attempts
One of the biggest factors to join Madrid was their willingness to let him play in the Paris Olympics this summer.
Although his move to LaLiga is set to be one of the biggest of the summer, the Frenchman is allegedly going to be paid half of what he’s currently earning at PSG in order to complete the move.
PSG will now look to alternatives to replace Mbappe with AC Milan’s Rafael Leao allegedly on the shortlist.
