Mbappe has reportedly already signed his contract ahead of his long-mooted potential move to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer. And Tebas has now seemingly confirmed as much, as he believes there is a "99 percent chance" the Paris Saint-Germain star finally makes the switch to the Spanish capital, and does not expect Real to have to sell players to fund the deal.

Tebas told : "Knowing that he's leaving PSG, there's a 99% chance that Mbappe signs for Real Madrid. But I don't know if he's already signed. It's great news for Real Madrid and for Spanish football. [Mbappe] is one of the best players in the world. In my view,[Jude] Bellingham,[Erling] Haalandand Mbappe are the three most dominant players on the planet, and two of them are at Real Madrid."
The La Liga chief added: "At the moment, their financial results are very good and they can spend a lot more than they do. Madrid have been very prudent financially, they've prepared for the signing of Mbappe… They don't have to sell anyone to allow themselves to sign Mbappe."
