The France international’s current contract with PSG expires on June 30, and Le Parisien claimed on Saturday that the attacker has decided to join Los Blancos this summer.
Mbappe is said to have decided to come to the Bernabeu on a free transfer, and the 25-year-old might make a statement in the coming weeks.
However, according to Sky Sports News, the former Monaco prodigy has not yet informed PSG that he would leave at the conclusion of the season to relocate to the Spanish city.
According to the source, Mbappe has pledged to informing PSG of his plans first, although the French club is now ignorant of any decision made by the Frenchman.
According to ESPN, neither PSG nor Real Madrid have been notified of Mbappe’s decision, but a transfer to the 14-time European winners may be confirmed as soon as next week.
According to the report, Mbappe will likely have to accept a 50% wage cut in order to move to Real Madrid, as the Spanish club cannot match PSG’s salary.
Meanwhile, it is understood that his departure from the French capital will result in his forfeiting bonuses worth around €100 million (£85.5 million), indicating that his alleged choice to transfer to Real Madrid was not just pecuniary.
PSG reportedly has already identified a potential successor for Mbappe, with AC Milan’s Rafael Leao viewed as their primary target for this summer’s deal.
Mbappe ‘has not told PSG he is joining Real Madrid’
Mbappe has been in excellent form for Luis Enrique’s team in the 2023-24 season, scoring 29 goals and providing seven assists in 28 appearances across all competitions.
Meanwhile, since joining PSG from Monaco, he has appeared in 288 games across all competitions, scoring 241 goals and assisting 105 times.
The attacker has five Ligue 1 crowns in his career and is aiming for a sixth this season, as well as a Champions League success.
PSG will take on La Liga team Real Sociedad in the last-16 round of the competition, while they are in the last-16 stage of the Cup.
