Kylian Mbappe has confirmed he has penned a new three-year contract at Paris Saint-Germain and will remain in the French capital for the foreseeable despite Real Madrid's intense interest.
In what was the transfer saga of last summer, Los Blancos applied huge pressure in their pursuit for his signature and submitted mega-money bids worth up to £200million to try and force the Parisian's hands. Remarkably, with a year left to run on his deal at that time, PSG stood firm and rejected Real Madrid's offers.
What followed has been an entire season's worth of speculation as to where Mbappe would play his football beyond this summer. Given the context of the forward's original contract expiring this summer, the consensus in Spain appeared to be that it was a foregone conclusion Mbappe would sign for the club as a free agent.
