Currently on international duty with France, Mbappé is expected to be officially presented at the Bernabéu. This event will take place after his commitments with the French national team in the European Championship this summer conclude.

Mbappé has already secured a residence in Madrid. He purchased the house previously owned by former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale. This home is located in the exclusive La Finca development on the outskirts of the city.

Long-Time Target for Real Madrid

Real Madrid has long pursued Mbappé. The club came close to signing him when he left Monaco in 2017 and again in 2022, but he opted to remain with PSG on both occasions.

Recent Success for Real Madrid

Real Madrid recently celebrated a double victory, winning both the Champions League and LaLiga titles. They secured their 15th European Cup by defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at Wembley. Meanwhile, Mbappé’s PSG won Ligue 1 but were eliminated in the Champions League semifinals.
