It has been known for weeks that Kylian Mbappé will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, having notified club staff of his decision to leave the French champions when his contract expires.
The Bondynois is expected to eventually join Real Madrid this summer, although there has been no announcement on the matter so far. The player's camp is still in talks with Real Madrid, although an agreement on personal terms is expected soon.
After that, attention will turn to when his move to Los Blancos will be announced, and French punter Jérôme Rothen believes the timetable depends on several factors, as he explains via RMC.
Fans are losing patience
“Mbappé will sign for Real Madrid, he will announce it before the Euro. He will announce it when PSG is eliminated from the Champions League or if Real Madrid is eliminated from the Champions League against Manchester City (in the quarter-final) or in the semi-final (against Arsenal or Bayern Munich). As long as there is the possibility of a PSG-Real Madrid in the final, he will not announce anything. »
It makes sense that Mbappé would avoid affecting his PSG teammates with his story for as long as possible, even if it does little to ease the frustrations of Real fans, who are desperate for the 24-year-old's signing to be finally announced.
