PSG have been struck with a double-whammy this week as they were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League before their most valuable asset, Kylian Mbappe, formally announced he was leaving the French club after seven years.

And Real Madrid have not been left out of Kylian Mbappe's announcement of his farewell to PSG. The Frenchman made public at the stroke of eight o'clock in the evening the video in which he confirmed that on June 30 he would end his relationship with the Parisian club.

So, immediately all eyes began to focus on Real Madrid who seem destined to inherit his star talent. Logically, everyone in Valdebebas had no comment when asked about the officiality of Mbappe's departure from PSG.

The first argument used was none other than how much is at stake in the next three weeks, with the Champions League final at stake, and the second is that he is still a PSG player so it would be inappropriate.

The truth is that Los Blancos continue to officially deny an agreement that everyone takes for granted. "There's nothing to say," say the Spanish giants, who continue to follow the path they have set throughout the season and remain so.

Real Madrid have learned from past experiences

The leaders drew a lesson from what happened in 2022 and have sought to stay on the sidelines, but taking the steps safely and closing in on Mbappe on his way to the Bernabeu. Nothing to do with what happened in 2022. All in writing. The day of the engagement will be known, but it exists.

There will be no officiality in the coming days. They want to respect their current squad as much as possible, the one that has to win the Champions League final at Wembley, players who deserve the sporting respect that the club is transmitting, but who do not live with their backs turned to reality either.

In the meetings held in recent days at the club, the Mbappe issue has never been officially discussed, but unofficially there has been talk of the first week of June as a possible time for the presentation as long as PSG allow it and the French Federation does not see it as bad because the focus will be on European Championship.
