Kylian Mbappe is gearing up for the most exciting summer of his career. The Frenchman joined PSG in the summer of 2017 on loan from Monaco. The following summer, PSG forked out €180 million for Mbappe’s permanent transfer, making him the second most expensive player.
Seven years into his stay at PSG, this is the first time he’s ever looked so uncomfortable at the club. Things are about to get even more interesting for all parties involved this summer, and Mbappe earlier confirmed his future would be announced before the Euros. It’s also been revealed why the Frenchman may be holding back on an announcement due to a particular concern.
Kylian Mbappe holding off his Real Madrid announcement due to one scenario
Although it’s not been made official, Kylian Mbappe is leaving PSG this summer, and his destination is Real Madrid. The PSG striker broke the internet a few months ago when he informed the club he wouldn’t be extending his stay at the club past this season. Remember that in the summer of 2022, with Real Madrid on Mbappe’s next for a sensational transfer, PSG made Mbappe the highest-paid player in the world, extending his stay by two more years.
As Mbappe nears his dream move to Real Madrid, reports are now claiming the real reason why he’s stalling to make an announcement about his future. Kylian Mbappe, out of respect for PSG, will reportedly not announce his move to Real Madrid because both teams may still clash in the UEFA Champions League this season. He’s trying to avoid an awkward meeting between the two teams if there’s a chance they may face off in the latter stages of the competition.
However, before then, both teams have quarterfinal fixtures to play. Real Madrid will battle it out with reigning champions Manchester City in the quarterfinals over two legs, which is the most interesting fixture in the current round.
PSG, on the other hand, will face underwhelming Barcelona and hopefully will produce a classic over the Catalans. PSG coach Luis Enrique will be returning to Camp Nou as an opposition manager after leaving the club almost a decade ago.
Real Madrid super fan sounds off on Kylian Mbappe transfer
Kylian Mbappe’s summer move to Real Madrid is the talk of the town. People are already treating him like a Real Madrid player, even though nothing has been made official yet. Thierry Henry even claimed he would have to set up a meeting with Florentino Perez to ask his permission for Mbappe to represent France at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which means almost everyone now knows the next move. It’s an exciting time to be a Real Madrid fan.
With all the excitement building around the potential move, one Real Madrid super fan sent a heartfelt message on social media yesterday, detailing how Real Madrid may not need the move.
“We don’t need Mbappe at Real Madrid; it’s just for the ego of the president,” the super fan, identified as Viggo Mortensen, said. “I think that with Bellingham and Rodrygo, we have what it takes. It (the signing of Mbappe) is not necessary. He should have come here two years ago; it’s too late now,” he added.
Real Madrid fans felt betrayed by Kylian Mbappe in the summer of 2022. The player had met with Florentino Perez and looked to be ready to move to the club. However, he performed a U-turn and signed a new two-year deal with PSG.
Fortunately for him, Perez revealed that Mbappe called him personally to inform him of his decision to stay at PSG, which earned him the respect of Real Madrid’s president.
Will Kylian Mbappe finally arrive at the Spanish capital?
