Kylian Mbappe will not announce his potential summer transfer to Real Madrid from PSG until after France's UEFA Nations League games in June.
That is according to Le Parisien, who report that Mbappe won't reveal his future until after France's match against Croatia on June 13.
Before that, France play Nations League games against Denmark, Croatia (again) and Austria.

When will Mbappe announce Real Madrid transfer?
Despite these recent reports to the contrary, there is no concern in Madrid over Mbappe not joining the club. A deal is in place and all that is missing is the official announcement.
It has been widely accepted for several months now that Mbappe will join Real Madrid this summer on a Bosman transfer when his contract at PSG expires.
The 23-year-old has repeatedly rejected offers of an extension at the Parc des Princes, although he has persistently insisted that he has not yet decided whether to stay or leave.
