Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was asked about Kylian Mbappe's potential transfer to Los Blancos following their 2-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday, June 1. The Frenchman, who is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain, with his contract expiring on June 30, 2024, has been linked with a move to Santiago Bernabeu for quite some time now.

Vinicius Junior then doubled Real's lead in the 83rd minute. Dortmund forward Niclas Füllkrug pulled one back in the 87th minute but it was ruled out for offside.
