It has been known for weeks that Kylian Mbappe will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, having notified the club's staff of his decision to leave the French champions when his contract expires. He is expected to finally join Real Madrid in the summer, though there was no announcement of it so far.
Mbappe's side are still in talks with Real Madrid, although an agreement on personal terms is expected soon. After this, attention will turn to when the announcement of his move to Los Blancos is made, and the French pundit Jerome Rothen believes that the timing depends on many factors, such as AS Diary.
“Mbappe is going to sign for Real Madrid, he will announce it before the European Championships. He will announce it when PSG is eliminated from the Champions League or if Real Madrid is eliminated from the Champions League against Manchester City (in the quarters of the final) or in the semi-finals (against Arsenal or Bayern Munich). While there is a possibility for PSG-Real Madrid in the final, he will not announce anything.
It makes sense for Mbappe to avoid affecting his PSG teammates with his history for as long as possible, although it does little to ease the frustrations of Real Madrid supporters, who are desperate for the 24-year-old's signing to eventually be announced.
