Kylian Mbappe has made his decision. Arguably the top young talent in all of world soccer will be staying at Paris Saint-Germain instead of moving to Real Madrid, according to CBS Sports transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.
Mbappe, 23, has been the subject of intense speculation since last summer when a move to Real failed to materialize, and the former AS Monaco was left to see out the remaining 12 months of his contract before being a free agent this summer.
The French superstar nearly led the Ligue 1 winners past Real in this season’s UEFA Champions League round of 16 only for Mauricio Pochettino’s men to throw it away at Santiago Bernabeu, which appeared to settle the question of Mbappe’s future in Los Blancos’ favor.
