Kylian Mbappe’s transfer saga to Real Madrid could finally come to an end in the coming days as both the player and the club look to start a new chapter. Mbappe, who has already agreed terms with Real Madrid on a lucrative transfer is now awaiting final details before the move is made official. But when could the deal become official as football fans await the next Galactico signing from Real Madrid?

<h2>What is delaying Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid?</h2>

As things stand, the 25-year-old French captain’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain ends on June 30, technically making it impossible for him to complete any official transfer. Since Real Madrid are negotiating a free transfer, they will need Mbappe to run down his contract which ends on June 30. Had Real paid a transfer fee which PSH could have accepted then the Los Blancos were free to unveil Mbappe as their new player.

Another possible reason for stopping Mbappe’s transfer is the availability of shirt number. It is expected that Real President Florentino Pérez wants the Frenchman to wear No.10 at the club. However, the number is currently unavailable as Luka Modric dons the coveted kit. But the Croatian could announce his retirement any time soon from the club which could free the No.10 shirt.

As things stand, Modric could announce his retirement from football once Croatia exit Euro 2024. He has no desire to move to any other club and wants to retire at Real Madrid while the upcoming Euro should be his final tournament with the national side.

Since PSG are not standing in Mbappe’s transfer, the player could complete this move to Real any time in June. This will also mean the deal will only be made official after the Champions League final in London and not before that.

Another factor delaying the proceedings will be Mbappe’s desire to concentrate on the Euro 2024. If the deal is not completed before the Euros, it is unlikely that it could be completed during the tournament.

Kylian Mbappe Transfer: When could French superstar complete much-awaited Real Madrid move? Here are details

The biggest transfer saga of the summer is likely to come to an end this summer as Kylian Mbappe has reportedly agreed terms with Real Madrid and is all set to join the La Liga giants after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expires in June. Mbappe has been keen on a move to Madrid for a long time now and is now close to completing his dream switch to the Los Blancos.

As per a report in GOAL, Mbappe has agreed terms with Real Madrid, who tried to sign the French striker last summer with a staggering bid of around 180&nbsp;million Euros which was turned down by PSG. PSG were optimistic about tying down Mbappe to a new contract, however, their efforts seem to have gone in vain.

PSG's decision to keep Mbappe last summer has backfired immensely as the club is now set to lose him on a free transfer this year. Mbappe's contract will expire in June making him a free agent which will see PSG receive nothing for letting their prized possession leave the&nbsp;Parc des Princes.

PSG have made several desperate attempts to convince Mbappe to sign a new contract but the French striker has refused to accept their offer with negotiations between the two parties coming to a halt now. As per GOAL, Real Madrid have agreed terms with Mbappe after 4-month long negotiations with the superstar striker.

One of the best talents in world football at present, Mbappe has proven himself at the highest level for a number of years now despite being only 23. While he has won several titles with PSG, Mbappe also played an instrumental role in helping France win the World Cup in 2018.

Kylian Mbappe agrees terms with Real Madrid, move likely to be announced after Champions League final

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has agreed to join Spanish champions Real Madrid on a four-year deal when his contract expires at the end of the season, Sky Sports reported.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said last month that the 29-year-old German would leave the club.

Rudiger joined Chelsea from AS Roma in 2017 and won the FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup at the London side.

Sanctions imposed by the British government on Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich following Russia`s invasion of Ukraine means the club cannot hand out contracts or buy new players.

The proposal has been sent to the government and Premier League for approval.

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger likely to join Real Madrid - Report

Kylian Mbappe is not distracted by rumours of a possible move to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino insisted on Friday.

The France World Cup-winning superstar has long been linked with an eventual move to Madrid, who courted him as a teenager before he signed for first club Monaco.

His current contract with PSG is due to expire at the end of next season.

The player and PSG are in talks over a possible extension, but Spanish television station Cuatro this week claimed Mbappe wants to move to Real and has decided not to sign a new deal in Paris.

The story was denied by sources close to Mbappe, who spoke to French broadcaster RMC Sport.

"This is something we are accustomed to at the top level, when we talk about big clubs and great players like Kylian, there are always rumours," Pochettino told reporters in a press conference on Friday.

"The most important thing is that Kylian is at peace and is focused on helping the team to achieve its objectives.

"He is so mature despite his youth and both he and the club are focused on trying to reach an agreement so that Kylian stays here for a long time.

"That is what the club wants. We can't control everything that happens outside the club but all that stuff has no impact on the team."

Mbappe, 22, scored twice as PSG beat Bayern Munich 3-2 away in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on Wednesday.

The sides meet again in the return leg next Tuesday.

Before that PSG travel to Strasbourg on Saturday in a key game in the Ligue 1 title race.

Mbappe is the top scorer in Ligue 1 this season with 20 goals from 26 appearances.

Mbappe 'focused' on PSG amid Real Madrid rumours - Pochettino

The football agents are up and about, ready to embark on another day of wheeling and dealing in the universe of European football.

The following are some of the stories that we heard through the grapevine.&nbsp;And believe me some of the stories are juicy indeed.

Philippe Coutinho

Let&#39;s begin the day with the juiciest bit of news (But I&#39;d suggest Liverpool fans to look away).

Coutinho, the playmer that makes Liverpool tick, has grabbed Barcelona&#39;s attention, according to AS.

The Catalan giants have prepared a 51 million GBP offer for the Brazilian and are keen to bring him to Camp Nou.

Surely that would make Jurgen Klopp froth at the mouth with rage as Coutinho has been integral to everything that Liverpool do.

Though Coutinho has had an injury-ravaged season, he has still managed to represent the Reds 27 times this year, scoring 10 goals in the process.

But it is not just the goals that makes him improtant, the playmaker/attacking midfielder is the fulcrum of the free-flowing football that Anfield has witnessed during Klopp&#39;s tenure.

Here&#39;s a taster of how important he is for Liverpool:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/trmJIDSNepM" width="560"></iframe>

If the deal does go through, the only upshot would be that Liverpool will make a decent profit of 42.5 million GBP. (Coutinho&#39;s services were acquired for 8.5 million GBP).&nbsp;

Kylian Mbappe

I know, I know. It&#39;s tiring to open the transfer section and read about the new kid in town.

It&#39;s tiring for me to type it out too. But believe me, this has all the ingredients to be a summer-long saga. So let&#39;s embrace it and go along with the ride.

What we know is that a clutch of major football powerhouses are in the races to get the French teenager.

We also know that Manchester United reportedly made a 72 million GBP for the speedy forward. And some media reports suggest that the bid has been declined by Monaco. In case you didn&#39;t know, let me just plug the story <a href="http://www.wionews.com/football/football-transfer-news-mbappe-on-city-psg-radar-de-geas-madrid-saga-15189">here</a>.

But it&#39;s a new day and there&#39;s a new story.

Manchester United may have bid first, but it is Real Madrid that stands at the front of the queue.

And if Daily Mail is to be believed, the rising star has &quot;said yes&quot; to joining Los Blancos. But something tells me, this is not over yet...

Ronald Koeman

In case you were living under a rock, I need to inform you that Barcelona will be coach-less at the end of the year.

Luis Enrique has decided to step down as Barca boss and the Catalan giants are preparing a list of candidates that can take over.

And Koeman has taken the opportunity to flaunt his love for Barcelona, a club where he played from 1989 to 1995.&nbsp;

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z5fR2bwqXYg" width="560"></iframe>

&quot;Everyone knows that I am from Barca, they know my love for a club where I grew up as a player and as a person,&quot; he told Sport.

&quot;In football, as in life, as in business, everything can be talked about and discussed.

&quot;In my life as a professional coach I have two dreams to fulfil. One, coach my country, Holland [he was previously assistant to Guus Hiddink for the 1998 World Cup].

&quot;My other wish, my other dream, is to one day coach Barca. That&#39;s the truth.

&quot;I now owe Everton. We have a very powerful and exciting project and we will reinforce our best to try to reach next season the Champions League.&quot;

Now, that&#39;s an impressive statement of purpose to his prospective bosses, while at the same time&nbsp;he keeps his current bosses by his side too.

Alvaro Morata

The 24-year-old striker has caught Manchester United gaffer Jose Mourinho&#39;s attention.

Multiple reports suggest that Old Trafford is looking to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic with the Real Madrid forward.

Is getting him a possibility? Sure. he hardly gets to play for Real Madrid -- anyone would, considering there&#39;s Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez&nbsp;and Isco to contend with.

Is there a hitch? Sure. A certain Chelsea is also monitoring him closely.&nbsp;

James Rodriguez

Yes, him. Remember the Colombian who made a huge splash at the World Cup, winning the Golden Boot at the 2014 World Cup?

You don&#39;t. Never mind, here&#39;s a refresher video:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hO41kJJTFik" width="560"></iframe>

There are rumours abuzz about Manchester United looking to get him as part of a swap deal with David De Gea.

De Gea&nbsp;is keen to go to Real Madrid and United are looking to leverage him for the 25-year-old with a feared left foot.

Arda Turan

I hate to do this but it&#39;s another piece of bad news for Gooners.

The Turkish &#39;Zizou&#39; is not too keen to join Arsenal. Instead, he wants to fight it out at Barcelona, according to The Independent.
