Real Madrid will let the dust settle, the Cibeles Fountain − where they party after all their trophy wins − clear and the hangovers pass following their historic 15th Champions League triumph before they announce the signing of Kylian Mbappe.

Just the construction of that sentence alone will send a shudder through the rest of European football. Without Mbappe, Madrid again proved to be the best team on the continent − and have won the Champions League six times in the past 11 seasons − and now they are going to add the world’s most devastating forward. An announcement will be made this week.
