The day of Real Madrid finally ending this two-year transfer saga is rapidly approaching. While Los Blancos are currently fully focused on claiming their 15th Champions League title against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, the media department is already hard at work behind the scenes preparing the announcement of the latest Galactico.

Mbappe has already proclaimed his free transfer departure from PSG, but he has thus far remained tight-lipped regarding his next destination. However, everybody is well aware that the 25-year-old megastar is on his way to Spain's capital this summer and he dropped another hint on Friday.

Spanish media has been reporting in recent days that Real Madrid are planning to announce - but not unveil - Mbappe within 48 hours of the Champions League final ending and this has now seemingly been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano.

Romano on Mbappe announcement

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the Italian transfer expert revealed that next week will be 'Kylian Mbappe week' at Real Madrid. "For Real Madrid, after the Champions League final, it's going to be time to announce Kylian Mbappe."

"The idea of Real Madrid is to announce Kylian Mbappe next week. This is the plan of the club. It doesn't mean the presentation at the [Santiago] Bernabeu, it means the official announcement of Real Madrid, it's still a very important point, a crucial step."

"But this is the schedule. We wait for the final steps and now we respect Real Madrid's moment as they are fully focused on the Champions League final, but what's important to say is that Real Madrid are preparing everything. So, next week will be 'Kylian Mbappe week.'"
