Late this evening, a crucial update was given on the ongoing transfer controversy between Spanish giants Real Madrid and striking target Kylian Mbappé.

According to Marca’s José Félix Díaz, Mbappé’s presence in Madrid this summer seems increasingly plausible.

The Frenchman, for his part, will soon reveal one major aspect of his plans, following the expiration of a verbal agreement between him and Paris Saint-Germain in which Mbappé promised not to divulge his intentions for next season.

With this agreement only running until the end of January, the frontman is now likely to clarify that he would not renew his contract in Paris under any circumstances.

This will allow Real Madrid to re-enter the race.

Marca revealed today that, unexpectedly, the Blancos brass had not even resumed internal talks about Mbappé’s probable arrival until this weekend.

But then ‘everything changed’.

It is known that Florentino Pérez and his colleagues have finally decided to go forward with the 25-year-old’s appointment.

While a sizable contingent of the boardroom in Spain’s capital had previously been skeptical of Mbappé’s arrival due to his last-minute change of heart two years ago, the time has now come – both sportingly and financially – to add another Galáctico to Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.

The Frenchman’s declaration of his departure from PSG will be the first domino to fall, with Real Madrid launching one final decisive attack to capture Mbappé for the 2024/25 season.
