Real Madrid are set to sign Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer in a deal that will see him move to Spain when the La Liga transfer window opens on July 1.

Fifteen-time Champions League winners Madrid are preparing to announce the signing of the forward from Paris St-Germain, when his current deal expires on June 30.

The Frenchman verbally agreed to sign for the LaLiga champions in February and he could be officially announced by the Spanish giants before the start of Euro 2024.

Mbappe is expected to sign a deal worth AED 60 million a year with a AED 599 million signing on fee, paid over five years.
