Mbappe agrees to join Real Madrid in next transfer window

Paris St-Germain foward, Kylian Mbappe has agreed to join Spanish giants Real Madrid at the end of the current season.

The 25-year-old France captain has told the French side that he intends to leave the club with his contract expiring in June this year.

Mbappe has not signed a contract with Real yet, but the deal could be announced once it is no longer possible for both clubs to meet in this season’s Champions League.

Mbappe wanted his future sorted before March, as he earlier this month, met PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and told him he was leaving and joining Real.

He is set to sign a five-year deal with Real Madrid, earning 15m euros a season, plus a 150m euro signing-on bonus to be paid over five years, and he will keep a percentage of his image rights.

The World Cup winner is PSG’s record goalscorer with 244 goals.
