A fresh, and altogether significant update on the transfer saga linking Kylian Mbappé with a move to La Liga giants Real Madrid has today been forthcoming.
And the info points towards a deal as having long been in place between the parties.
Frontman Mbappé’s entourage have of course been locked in negotiations with the brass at Real Madrid for several months now.
As much comes after the 25-year-old came to the definitive decision not to renew his contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
Optimism has been widespread throughout such talks that an agreement will ultimately be reached, to take Mbappé to the Spanish capital with a view to next season.
A small number of crucial details – including player image rights – though, have been cited as holding up an official accord being finalised between the parties.
And yet, if the latest word stemming from the media on Friday is anything to go by, then it would appear that Real Madrid, for some time now, have in fact had their man.
As per a report from French transfer insider Abdellah Boulma, Mbappé put pen to paper on terms at the Santiago Bernabéu over two months ago:
‘Kylian Mbappé has already signed with Real Madrid. The French international signed his contract around February 21.’
