Mbappe arrived in Madrid on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain last season and scored 44 goals in 59 competitive appearances.
The Spanish capital club however failed to win any silverware during the 2024-25 season, most recently bowing out of the FIFA Club World Cup semi-finals after a heavy 4-0 defeat against eventual runners-up Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey.
Mbappe missed half of the tournament after battling with acute gastroenteritis. He appeared from the round of 16 and scored in the 3-2 quarter-final win over Borussia Dortmund.
