Real Madrid Champions League draw with PSG to delay Mbappe's signing

It is highly unlikely that Real Madrid will complete the signing of Kylian Mbappe as early as January, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Instead, the deal may be concluded around March at the earliest.

One big reason for this is that Real Madrid will conclude their Champions League round of 16 tie with PSG in March.

The 22-year-old was expected to sign a pre-agreement with Real Madrid in January, given he's free to do discus with other teams during the final 6 months of his contract, as per transfer regulations in France.

Mbappe is widely expected to be a Real Madrid player next season.
