Real Madrid is on the brink of signing the electrifying Kylian Mbappé on a free transfer, a move that has been the talk of the football world. The French striker, known for his blistering pace, clinical finishing, and ability to create chances out of nothing, bid adieu to Paris Saint-Germain last month after a glorious seven-year stint. He has kept his next destination under wraps. His mother, Fayza Lamari, dropped a hint, saying he would be heading to a place ‘where everybody knows, ‘sparking a wave of speculation and excitement.
Real Madrid opted to delay the announcement until the end of their season. Following their historic 15th Champions League victory and French national coach Didier Deschamps expressing the need for clarity on Mbappé’s future before Euro 2024, the club is ready to confirm the signing. The official announcement is expected as early as Monday.
Real Madrid’s triumphant season, culminating in their 15th Champions League victory has set the perfect stage for the unveiling of their new star. While Mbappé’s official presentation may be delayed until mid-July due to his commitments with the French national team for the European Championship, his imminent move to Madrid has been one of the most eagerly anticipated events in football. The 25-year-old forward’s contract with PSG has expired, paving the way for his free transfer to Madrid, a move that could potentially reshape the football landscape.
In the aftermath of their Champions League final victory, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti declined to comment on Mbappé’s impending arrival, stating he would not discuss players not currently in Madrid’s squad. However, midfielder Jude Bellingham expressed a sense of anticipation, saying Mbappé’s addition would be a game-changer, potentially propelling the team to new heights.
Mbappé leaves PSG without winning a Champions League title in France but joins the most successful club in history. Real Madrid’s trophy parade, celebrating their 15th European Cup, will take place on Sunday evening. It will feature stops at the city hall, the cathedral, the statue of Cibeles, and the Santiago Bernabéu.
The confirmation of Mbappé’s signing will mark the culmination of Real Madrid’s seven-year pursuit, adding another chapter to the club’s illustrious history.
