However, it has now come to light that the Euros in Germany also bear a different significance. A long wait for Real Madrid fans might be over, with their hero finally donning the white kit of the club.
Kylian Mbappe sets the date for his Real Madrid transfer announcement
The Frenchman had earlier asserted that he was not ready enough to make any announcements about his future just yet. Speculations about his future had been in motion ever since January 2024, when he reportedly informed his club, Paris Saint-Germain, about his decision to leave the club in the following summer. Kylian Mbappe had also promised that he would inform his fans about his future club at the right time, like a man.
However, it seems the 25-year-old has already started the preparations for the mega-announcement. He has already given a timeline for when his fans should be expecting a transfer update on Kylian. The 25-year-old said, “People will know my future before the Euros. I’m very calm about it”.

The Euros is slated to start in mid-June in Germany. The FIFA World Cup 2022 Golden Boot winner also clarified that his future is not a matter of concern at Paris Saint-Germain anymore, with no talks on the matter. He said, “My future is no longer a huge topic at the club, no one talks to me about it anymore.”
It looks like Kylian Mbappe does not want to rush with the decisions about his future. The 25-year-old has reiterated that he wants to decide with a cool head about his future before Euro 2024. Even though Kylian Mbappe looks very secretive about his future, every indication proves that his long-awaited move to Real Madrid is on the cards.
The Frenchman isn’t negotiating with anyone except Real Madrid
A video shared by the notable Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reveals that Kylian Mbappe will leave Paris Saint-Germain only for Real Madrid. While Premier League clubs like Arsenal have said they are interested in him, Fabrizio’s video makes it even more of a far-fetched dream now. Also, Kylian and Real Madrid have reportedly progressed very well with their negotiations and sorting out the final details.
Kylian Mbappe’s salary at ‘Los Blancos’ has also been reportedly fixed. The 25-year-old will earn an amount close to $20 million, just like some of the other superstars at the club, namely, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. Besides the handsome wages, Kylian will also receive a huge signing fee.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the signing fee will be upwards of $100 million, but the two parties have reportedly come to a negotiated settlement regarding this. Kylian will receive huge money upfront, but in installments over the next five seasons, he will be contracted. Kylian’s entourage is also very close to securing the image rights for the player.
Real Madrid is touted to have an excellent attacking line for the 24/25 season. Vini, Rodrygo, and Bellingham have already showcased their potential, and now the addition of Kylian Mbappe will increase the title aspirations even more.
Kylian’s signing might just be another masterstroke on club President Florentino Perez’s part, who has rebuilt the Real Madrid midfield perfectly. It would be interesting to see how Real Madrid performs once Kylian Mbappe arrives at the Santiago Bernabeu.
