Kylian Mbappe has confirmed that he will announce which club he will be playing at next season before the start of Euro 2024.

The Euros kick off on Friday 14 June, which means we will know by that date that Mbappe will be joining Real Madrid.

What did Mbappe say?

“People will know my future before the Euros. I'm very calm about it,” Mbappe told Telefoot.

“My future is no longer a huge topic at the club, no one talks to me about it anymore.

“I’ll be at the Euros with a calm head, ready to do great things.”

Mbappe’s contract at PSG expires on July 1 and it is widely accepted now that he will join Real Madrid on a free transfer.

PSG boss Luis Enrique has confirmed publicly that his star man will be leaving at the end of the season but until now there has been no official confirmation from Mbappe or Madrid about the move.

However, the transfer is not believed to be in danger, as it is widely accepted that the deal is agreed.

Mbappe has been close to joining Madrid on a number of occasions in recent years, frustrating the Blancos by repeatedly staying at PSG at the last moment each time.

This will not be the case in the summer of 2024, though.

Mbappe at PSG

Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco in the summer of 2017 for a fee that would eventually reach €180 million.

He has proven to be one of the best players in the world in the seven years at the club, scoring a brilliant 250 goals in 297 appearances.

Mbappe has won a string of trophies with PSG, including five Ligue 1 titles, while he was a Champions League runner-up in 2020.

For France he has achieved greatness by leading his country to 2018 World Cup glory. He also took France to the final of the 2022 World Cup, scoring a hattrick in the final despite the loss on penalties to Argentina.
