JAKARTA - The puzzle of the future of Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe has been answered. He was confirmed to leave PSG and join Real Madrid after the end of this season's competition.

Mbappe will terminate his contract at PSG. He has also been determined not to extend his contract at the French Ligue 1 club.

Mbappe has also refused a loyalty bonus of 100 million euros if he is willing to extend his contract at PSG. The bonus is outside the contract that PSG offered no less.

With the hiatus of the contract period, Mbappe is free of transfer. PSG also lost its best asset without a penny from Mbappe's departure. In contrast, this 25-year-old player has reached an agreement with Madrid. According to French daily, Les Parisien, Mbappe will sign a pre-contract with the Champions League champions 14 times.

Yes, Mbappe's desire to win trophies at the European level made him decide to move. The reason is, he has won all domestic trophies, but PSG has never won the Champions League.

Madrid themselves have actually wanted to bring Mbappe three times. The Spanish La Liga giant was the first to do so after seeing Mbappe's talent firsthand while undergoing a one-week trial at Madrid.

However, Mbappe's parents refused and chose to join Monaco. As he skyrocketed at Monaco, Madrid came back and proposed a price of 180 million euros.

It's just that Mbappe instead joined PSG. The reason is that he didn't get a guarantee to play regularly at Los Merengues.

In 2022, Madrid will return to bidding for the third time. At that time, Mbappe's contract was about to expire.

But at the last moment, the player who brought France to become world champion 2018 chose to stay and renew his contract at PSG.

Madrid have finally succeeded in a fourth attempt. Despite having a competitor from Liverpool, Madrid is the one who attracts this talented player from France.
