The big question that still has no answers in Europe is where will the forward Kylian Mbappe go from Paris Saint Germain, after the news that the club plans to sell the Frenchman this summer
It has been reported that the move is after PSG feared that they might lose the player for nothing as his contract has one year remaining while he is refusing to extend another contract
Initially there was a deadline of July 31, 2023 for Mbappe, 24, to tell PSG if he would stay at PSG until 2025
After several months of negotiations, Mbappe issued a letter saying he would not do it
However, as the French champions try to overhaul their squad building policy after years of buying star players without a solid strategy, PSG are determined not to let Mbappe go for nothing, with the club angered by the letter being leaked to the media before
Real Madrid have long wanted the Frenchman and he refused to move to the Bernabeu to stay at PSG last year
Karim Benzema's departure to Saudi Arabia means Real need a striker, although Tottenham's Harry Kane was thought to be at the top of their list
Mbappe, who joined PSG in 2017 on loan from Monaco before a €180m transfer, has scored 212 goals in 260 games
He has 38 goals in 68 appearances for France, including a hat-trick in last year's World Cup final in Qatar, when France lost to Argentina on penalties
Mbappe finished as Ligue 1's top scorer in each of the last five seasons and has won five league titles in his six seasons at PSG.
