The last 24 hours, of course, have seen the name of Mbappé return to the headlines in Spain’s capital in absolute force.

As much comes after the Frenchman, at long last, made official his impending departure from Paris Saint-Germain.

Taking to his social media platforms, Mbappé unveiled a lengthy video message, confirming that the time has come for him to take on a new challenge.

The challenge at hand, of course, will come in La Liga, with a Real Madrid outfit who have been working tirelessly on his signing for several years now.

So, how has news of their incoming teammate’s announcement gone down behind the scenes at the Santiago Bernabéu?

As much has this weekend been detailed, by Relevo.

News of Mbappé’s statement, it is claimed, came as a surprise to those in the Real Madrid dressing room, who were not aware that the 25-year-old would make his PSG departure public knowledge so soon.

And yet, their collective stance remained an unwavering one – the matter is one for next season.

Relevo assure that, though Carlo Ancelotti’s squad are ready to welcome their latest world-class arrival with open arms, for the time being, the sole focus is the upcoming Champions League final.

“Mbappé? We have more important things to think about,” the message stemming from Valdebebas.
