Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reportedly informed selected players about the imminent transfer of France forward Kylian Mbappe to the club next season. Mbappe, 25, is expected to leave Paris Saint-Germain as his contract is set to expire at the end of the current season. The World Cup winner had previously considered a move to Real Madrid in 2022 but is now likely to make the switch to the Bernabeu.

While Real Madrid appear to be the frontrunners in signing Mbappe, other clubs have also been linked to the talented player. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta spoke about the potential transfer, and Liverpool has shown interest in Mbappe in the past. Mbappe's international teammate Aurelien Tchouameni hinted at the move on social media with a popcorn emoji, suggesting an exciting development.

Both Mbappe and Tchouameni were key players for the French national team during the 2022 World Cup, with Mbappe finishing as the tournament's top scorer. Paris Saint-Germain is already looking for a successor to Mbappe, with Victor Osimhen reportedly on their shortlist. Premier League clubs are also said to be interested in the Napoli striker.

If the transfer goes through as expected, Mbappe will join Real Madrid, adding strength to their attacking force for the upcoming season.
