LIVE UPDATES
French superstar Kylian Mbappe has officially announced his intention to leave Paris Saint-Germain after the 2023-24 season.
The news was revealed via a video posted by Mbappe on his social media channels.
Though Mbappe stopped short of directly confirming his next club, widespread reports from trusted sources strongly suggest he will join Real Madrid.
However, neither party is likely to officially announce the move before the 2024 Champions League Final on June 1st, avoiding potential distractions ahead of the high-stakes match.
The 25-year-old Mbappe has been a long-term target for Real Madrid, with club president Florentino Perez eager to secure his signature. Mbappe's current contract expires this June, allowing him to join Real Madrid as a free agent.
Real Madrid anticipates that Mbappe will bolster their offensive line, an area of focus for improvement despite the club's comfortable La Liga title win and strong showing in the Champions League.
