"Several sources have confirmed to us that Kylian Mbappe has decided to leave PSG to join Real Madrid," ESPN reported. Le Parisien also covered this blockbuster transfer.
Unless something changes, the French striker will finish the 2023/2024 season with PSG and then leave as a free agent after June 30th. The 1998-born forward has received numerous offers, including a lucrative contract extension from PSG and offers from several clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
Mbappe is reportedly set to join Real Madrid.
From the beginning, Mbappe knew that PSG was not the place to help him reach the top. The French international called "Le Parisien" a "team that doesn't want to win".
At Real Madrid, Mbappe would be playing alongside world -class players, significantly increasing his chances of competing for the prestigious individual award from France Football magazine. Mbappe's direct competitor, Erling Haaland, has the immense support of a star-studded squad and the cohesive playing style of Manchester City. If he remained at PSG, Mbappe would likely be left far behind by his Norwegian counterpart.
Mbappe even accepted a significant pay cut to play for Real Madrid. According to Spanish media, the 2018 World Cup winner's income at Bernabeu next season will be 36 million euros, a figure incomparable to the 100 million euros PSG are willing to pay, provided Mbappe signs a new contract.
In a recent interview, Mbappe admitted that he wants to develop his career in the direction of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, which is to conquer many leagues and clubs instead of sticking with just a few teams like Lionel Messi.
