Real Madrid intend to announce the signing of Kylian Mbappé on a free transfer early this week. The France striker confirmed last month he was leaving Paris Saint-Germain after seven years, and his mother, Fayza Lamari, has admitted he will be going “where everybody knows”, but there has not been a formal announcement of his destination.

Madrid wanted to wait until their season was over before releasing a public statement. With a 15th Champions League title secured and the France coach, Didier Deschamps, saying he wanted his captain’s future resolved before the Euros, Real Madrid are finally in a position to make the announcement, which the club hope will come on Monday.
