Mbappe's future at PSG remains a topic of intense speculation, with reports suggesting that the forward has already decided to join Real Madrid at the end of the season.

On the sidelines of the UEFA Congress in Paris, Al-KhelaIfi told reporters: "When we have both decided, we will tell you.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
French FA president, Philippe Diallo, was also asked regarding Mbappe's future in Paris, and just like Al-Khelaifi, he gave nothing away to the press.
"I don’t know his (Mbappe's) final choice,” he said.
"I will wait, like many others, for him to make a decision. Now he has a club and I believe that President Nasser Al-Khelaifi is also present at the UEFA congress. He is certainly much better informed than me about the rest of the career of Kylian Mbappe."
DID YOU KNOW?
If Mbappe makes the move to Madrid, it would mark the end of a protracted transfer saga and bolster an already formidable team alongside talents like Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. The 2018 World Cup winner has expressed his intention to leave PSG on amicable terms, ensuring his hometown club receives adequate compensation and has allegedly promised to give up on a hefty loyalty bonus of €80 million (£69m/$86m).
