Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano isn’t known for breaking many stories about Real Madrid. Typically cautious, especially with the Mbappé saga, he’s now stepping up, sharing some fresh updates.

“Things are progressing well with Kylian Mbappé’s transfer to Real Madrid and the timing of it. Real Madrid are gearing up for a unique official announcement regarding the player’s signing,” Fabrizio explained to CaughtOffside.

While he hasn’t dropped his trademark “here we go” yet, all his recent reports echo the same sentiment, hinting at Kylian Mbappé donning the white shirt come summer.

It makes sense that, with the possibility of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain meeting in the final, both parties would opt to keep things hush-hush for now.

If Paris Saint-Germain were to bow out in the Champions League semis, an official announcement regarding Mbappé’s departure might come sooner, but Real Madrid wouldn’t unveil his signing until after their final games.

Should both Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé exit the competition, the official statement could surface this month. Otherwise, early June seems likely, regardless of PSG’s fate. Mutual respect between the clubs dictates the timing.
