Suara.com – Spanish LaLiga President Javier Tebas admitted that he suspected Kylian Mbappe had signed a contract with Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old striker's contract with Paris Saint Germain (PSG) in the French League will expire at the end of this season and he has already informed his club that he will leave Parc des Princes once that happens.
“I have a feeling that Mbappe has signed a contract with Real Madrid,” Tebas told Spanish radio station, COPE, as reported by the Madrid Universal page, on Tuesday (27/2/2024).

Tebas did not hide his joy that the Spanish League was again strengthened by gridiron superstars.
“He will become a new star in LaLiga like (Jude) Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, (Antoine) Griezmann and (Robert) Lewandowski,” explained Tebas as published by ANTARA.
A number of reports say negotiations between Mbappe and Real Madrid have entered the final stages.
Other reports say the French player will receive a fee of 19-22 million euros, plus bonuses, on top of a contract bonus of 120 million euros. There is also a Ballon d'Or clause in Mbappe's contract.
Tebas admitted that Madrid's financial condition was good. “Madrid have been very careful financially and have been preparing for a long time to bring in Mbappe,” said Tebas.
