Kylian Mbappe set to make summer move from Paris St-Germain to Real Madrid
Paris St-Germain Star Kylian Mbappe Set to Join Real Madrid
In a stunning turn of events, Paris St-Germain’s ace striker, Kylian Mbappe, has reportedly made up his mind to make a move to the Spanish giant Real Madrid this upcoming summer. The French sensation, who is also the captain of his national team at just 25 years old, has informed PSG about his decision to part ways with the club as his contract reaches its conclusion in June.
Although Mbappe has not yet put pen to paper with Real Madrid on a new deal, sources suggest that an announcement could be imminent once it becomes impossible for both clubs to cross paths in this season’s Champions League competition. As PSG’s all-time leading goal scorer with an impressive tally of 244 goals under his belt, Mbappe’s departure marks the end of an era for the Parisian outfit.
The World Cup winner was keen on resolving his future before March and wasted no time in conveying his intentions by meeting PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi back in February. This bold move shook football enthusiasts worldwide as Mbappe expressed his desire to head over to Spain and don the iconic white jersey of Real Madrid.
If reports are accurate, Mbappe is poised to ink a lucrative five-year contract with Real Madrid that will see him earn a staggering 15 million euros annually along with an eye-watering signing-on bonus amounting to 150 million euros spread across five years. Additionally, he stands to retain partial ownership of his image rights.
Real Madrid tactician Carlo Ancelotti seems enthusiastic about integrating Mbappe into their squad structure. Speculations hint towards English midfielder Jude Bellingham assuming a deeper role alongside Brazilian prodigy Vinicius Jr occupying the left flank while Mbappe slots into a central-left attacking position if Croatia maestro Luka Modric opts for an exit this summer.
As things stand in their respective European campaigns, PSG enjoy a comfortable two-goal cushion against Real Sociedad post their initial leg encounter while Real Madrid hold a narrow lead over RB Leipzig following their first-leg matchup.
