Mbappe has spent the past seven years at PSG but has continuously been linked with a transfer to Real Madrid and is now expected to officially join the Champions League winners on July 1st.

When Mbappe signed for PSG from Monaco, initially on a season-long loan in 2017 before the switch was made permanent a year later, it made him the second most expensive player in history after the Parisians parted with €180 million to secure his services.

A number of trophies followed as he helped PSG win six Ligue 1 titles alongside numerous domestic cups, but failed to lead the club to its ultimate goal of European glory.

PSG reached the Champions League final in 2020 but finished runners-up to Bayern Munich and lost in the last-four stage during the current campaign to Borussia Dortmund, who were beaten 2-0 at Wembley by Real Madrid on Saturday.

Mbappe is now set to join 15-time European champions Real Madrid after 308 appearances and 256 goals for PSG.

He is reported to have signed a contract on Sunday after verbally agreeing a move to the LaLiga winners in February, according to reports at the time.
