According to Foot Mercato, Kylian Mbappe has reached an agreement with Los Blancos earlier in the week, and he will play for Real Madrid next season.
Mbappe and Real Madrid have been embroiled in transfer sagas over the past two summers, and all signs have pointed to a spectacular move for both parties. Real, though, looked embarrassed both times.
Therefore, when talking about a possible transfer with Mbappe—whose contract expires at the end of the current campaign—Real Madrid was keen to avoid suffering a third loss.
Foot Mercato claims that Mbappe, who declined to stay at Paris Saint-Germain, came to an arrangement with Real Madrid a few days ago and pledged his future to the La Liga powerhouse.
Reports, however, claim that the 25-year-old superstar was offered a better pay deal by the Spanish powerhouses during discussions in 2022.

Speaking after PSG’s victory over Toulouse FC, Mbappe was adamant he had not yet made a decision on his future. However, he’s now said to have agreed to join them next season
Mbappe and Real Madrid have been embroiled in transfer sagas over the past two summers, and all signs have pointed to a move on both occasions. But Real was left looking flushed.
But according to a report in Le Parisien, Liverpool was ‘the most credible and dangerous choice’ for PSG, who clearly wanted him to stay longer.
Le Parisien continued by implying that Liverpool saw Mbappe as the kind of marquee acquisition they would require to stay up with Manchester City in the future.
When Mbappe’s mother Fayza Lamari once again became his agent, the transfer story for the 25-year-old took a new turn.It was said that she was actively participating in any negotiations that were taking place behind closed doors.
FIFA’s new agent rules meant that Lamari was no longer representing her kid, according to a report published in the Spanish newspaper Marca back in October. However, since then, the rules have “loosened,” enabling her to regain control over her Mbappe.

It is within his contract, and he alone has the authority to activate it, for Mbappe to remain at PSG until 2025. But it seems like Real Madrid is the more alluring choice for the budding talent.
In addition to being the club’s primary source of revenue, the recently refurbished Santiago Bernabeu is part of the worldwide posturing to place themselves ahead of nouveau riche Saudi Arabian and Qatari-owned clubs.
Mbappe may have the same mindset as England international Jude Bellingham since he too wants to win both team and individual trophies.
Even though he would have made more money at Manchester City, Bellingham acknowledged that Real Madrid’s reputation—built on 14 Champions League victories and a record 35 La Liga titles—was a major reason why he joined the team in the summer.
After PSG’s triumph over Toulouse FC, Mbappe insisted that he still hadn’t decided what to do with his career. But according to Foot Mercato, he actually had a deal to sign with Real Madrid at the end of the current campaign.
