In a surprising announcement that has sent shockwaves through the football world, French superstar Kylian Mbappe has reportedly made his intentions of joining Real Madrid clear. The news has left Mbappe’s current club, Paris Saint-Germain reeling as they attempt to negotiate a new contract with their star player.
The 24-year-old 2018 World Champion is widely considered one of the most exciting young talents in world football, and his potential move to Real Madrid is sure to set tongues wagging. The Spanish giants have been linked with Mbappe for some time, and the news of his intentions will only intensify speculation about a possible transfer.
On multiple occasions, Mbappe has stated his desire to play for Real Madrid. His love for the Spanish giants comes from the player he has idolized ever since his childhood, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is a former Los Blancos legend.
Mbappe almost joined Real on a free contract last summer, but then went on to sign a new contract with Les Parisiens. The new contract had a two-year term with a one-year extension available.

For fans of both clubs, the news of Mbappe’s potential move is sure to be tantalizing. Real Madrid’s star-studded team is already one of the most formidable in Europe, and the addition of Mbappe would only strengthen their already impressive attacking options.

Whatever happens, the coming months are sure to be filled with drama and excitement as the soccer world waits to see where Kylian Mbappe will end up.
‼️ Mbappé has told the leaders of R. Madrid that he intends to join the club in 2024, but if he cannot come, then he will join in 2025. However, if he extends his contract, then he will come after the 2026 World Cup, or 2027. If not, then maybe 2028 or 2029. @diarioas #rmalive 🇫🇷 pic.twitter.com/AKusJ5x6jn
