Kylian Mbappe is "getting really excited" about his anticipated move to Real Madrid, sources tell ESPN

Mbappe has informed Paris Saint-Germain of his exit and negotiations are ongoing.

Two years ago, when Mbappe decided to stay at PSG and sign a new contract, he insisted on a "2+1 deal" that would allow him to leave should he choose.

"Deep down, everyone knew that it was very likely we would be where we are now," a source tells ESPN.

Kylian Mbappe has informed Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al Khelaifi he intends to leave the club this summer.

Mbappe will be a free agent and is expected to join Real Madrid, but no deal between the sides has been reached. Real Madrid, however, has "total confidence" they will eventually get a deal done.

Mbappe joined PSG from Monaco in 2017.

Mbappe nearly joined Real Madrid in 2022 and has long aspired to play for the club.
