PSG star Mbappe moves to Madrid: La Liga boss

La Liga president Javier Tebas says Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe will move to Real Madrid next season.

The 25-year-old France captain announced last week that he was leaving PSG at the end of his contract this summer, without naming his destination, and Madrid are ready to sign him after years of failed attempts.

“He's Madrid's next season, yes,” Tebas told Argentine sports daily Ole on Monday.

“If they signed a five-year contract, he has the chance (to win the Champions League) for five seasons.”

Mbappe will join a star-studded Madrid team led by Brazilian Vinicius Junior and England international Jude Bellingham.

Los Blancos strolled to the Spanish title and face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at Wembley on June 1st.

“(Mbappe) is one of the best players in the world, but Vinicius and Bellingham are there too, Madrid will have a great squad,” Tebas continued. “But that doesn’t guarantee you’ll win leagues.”

Mbappe is PSG's all-time top scorer with 256 goals and joined the club from Monaco in 2017 for 180 million euros ($194 million).

He won six French league titles with PSG, but failed to secure the Champions League title, finishing second to Bayern Munich in 2020.

By joining record 14-time winners Real Madrid, Mbappe would increase his chances of finally winning club football's most prestigious trophy.
