Kylian Mbappe has finally put an end to one of football’s longest-running transfer sagas by agreeing terms with Real Madrid.
Los Blancos have been chasing the France superstar since a failed mega-money move last summer as he entered the last 12 months of his deal.
And Bild claim that Mbappe, 23, has now put pen to paper and will move to the Spanish capital at the end of the season.
The report adds that his new contract will be worth a staggering £41.7million per year and that Real will wait to announce the deal until they face PSG in the Champions League to add some extra spice to the tie.
Mbappe has scored 151 times in 199 appearances and won three league titles in the French capital but is yet to taste continental glory.
Lyon back for Lac
Lyon will resume their attempts to sign Alexandre Lacazette after missing out on a January swoop.
The Arsenal striker has just five months remaining on his deal and is looking increasingly unlikely to extend his stay in North London.
Lacazette, 30, came through Lyon’s youth ranks before joining the Gunners and L’Equipe are claiming that his former club lead the way in a race to sign him on a free at the end of the season.
