"I hadn't thought about it (Mbappe) but now that you mention it, it might be true and so on," Perez said, when talking about the Frenchman's potential arrival while celebrating Real Madrid's 35th La Liga title triumph. "When we plan next year's squad, we'll see," he added.

Earlier, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti responded to PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino's 'confirmation' that both he and Mbappe would stay at PSG. Ancelotti had said, "coaches cannot tell the whole truth." Now, the Italian dropped another cryptic hint, stating that the 'future' of Real Madrid is already written. "Mbappe to Real Madrid? With this club, with this president, the future is already written," he said.

It remains to be seen how this transfer saga unfolds, especially with the season drawing to a close.
