JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe will leave France. Although it has not been mentioned that the club will be strengthened next season, Mbappe's destination is none other than Real Madrid. He was never interested in playing in the Premier League.

Mbappe will play at Real Madrid after PSG. Although there has been no official announcement from Madrid or Mbappe, the French national team player will indeed defend Los Blancos.

It has even been stated that both parties have reached an agreement. Including the duration of Mbappe's contract and the salary he received. He will receive the highest salary among Madrid's stars.

According to information, Mbappe is the new era of Madrid polycticos who already have Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior. Madrid's next target is none other than the Manchester City striker Erling Haaland.

It is only rumored that Madrid is not certain to become a Mbappe destination. It is possible that this 25-year-old player will move to the English Premier League. Moreover, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are hunting Mbappe.

But journalist who is also a footballer transfer expert in Europe Fabrizio Romano denied the rumors. According to him, as quoted by Football Espana, Mbappe was not at all interested in playing in the Premier League.

"The plan is for Mbappe to move to Real Madrid. I only confirm if he has never negotiated with the Premier League club," said Romano.

"There is already news that Mbappe is associated with Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal. The problem is, Mbappe has never been interested in playing in the Premier League. His focus is Real Madrid," he said again.

Mbappe, Romano further said, did not want to have any more problems with Madrid President Florentino Perez.

According to him, Mbappe had actually received an offer from Madrid in 2022. But he then canceled it and chose to renew his contract at PSG.

"At that time, Mbappe had conducted a fairly long negotiation with Real Madrid. But he then canceled it. He didn't want any more problems," he said.

Romano stated that at that time Liverpool were exploring the possibility of recruiting players who brought France to win the 2018 World Cup. It's just that the price of Mbappe was considered too expensive so Liverpool canceled signing him.

"Liverpool has also explored opportunities to bring him in 2022. Only the financial packages submitted to Liverpool are very high and seem difficult to fulfill," Romano explained.

"In the following years there were no negotiations with the English club because of his obsession with joining Madrid," he said.

Mbappe's presence at the Santiago Bernabeu will make Madrid even stronger. This season, Los Merengues have the opportunity to win a double title. After winning La Liga, Madrid have qualified for the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.

Mbappe himself failed to bring PSG to win the Champions League. This season, PSG only lasted until the semifinals before Dortmund was stopped.
