“Now we talk to them a little, but not much. In the end it was between Real Madrid and PSG.”
According to former player and current pundit Jan Aage Fjortoft, Mbappe is heading to Real after the 2022 World Cup either in January or the summer.
Fjortoft also claimed that the 23-year-old has already signed a secret deal with Los Blancos, who have been keeping tabs since last year.
The ex-Swindon striker tweeted: “…Like I have said for a long time…after the World Cup Mbappe will join Real Madrid either in the first or the second transfer- window.
“My tip is that that deal is already signed and locked up someway.”
