Speaking to Forbes about his future as he prepares to leave Paris, Mbappe said: “I want to be happy. I will leave my country for the first time.

“It’s going to be an amazing experience and I can’t wait to be in my new club. I want to win trophies. When you speak about football, [it’s about] winning trophies, being with new team-mates.”

Madrid have been attempting to bring Mbappe to the Bernabeu Stadium since 2017. The Spanish giants came close last season, until the forward signed a contract extension at PSG, which caused them to act ‘differently’ this time round. Mbappe will end his current deal at the Parc des Princes in June and will be free to join Madrid as a free agent.

Mbappe’s current priorities are Euro 2024 with France, where he will play in a friendly against Luxembourg on Wednesday, travel to Spain to finalise the deal, and then fly to Germany with the national team. France manager Didier Deschamps has stated that he wanted Mbappe’s future settled before Les Bleus’s participation in the tournament starts on June 15.
