The recent winner of the Champions League who has just beaten Borussia Dortmund in the final at Wembley (2-0) should announce this Monday or Tuesday the arrival of the PSG player. The end of a long series and the start of a new life for the French player.
It is an open secret. Kylian Mbappé will join the best club in the world and wear, like Zidane and Kopa before him, the famous white jersey. Moreover, if we are to believe the Spanish press, Kylian Mbappé would have signed his contract 4 months ago already. In all likelihood, the PSG star would have given his agreement last February and initialed all the documents. Since then, it has been radio silence. “The officialization of Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid should take place in the coming hours,” indicates Juan José Dorado, Spanish journalist.
The Madrid club wanted to wait until the season was over to make this big announcement. The end of the series is approaching, Spanish journalist Juan José Dorado confirms to Europe 1: “This formalization should take place in the next few hours, these next few days. Real did not wish to communicate before the Champions League final. This is the President Florentino Perez who should announce the arrival of Kylian Mbappé.
The end of the series
Real Madrid should share this information via a press release on its website and social networks. According to some Spanish colleagues, Kylian Mbappé, who is currently at Clairefontaine, could be presented to Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium this Thursday, the day after the Blues’ friendly match in Metz. But it is more likely that the captain of the blues will stay in France with Didier Deschamps and his teammates. The big presentation in the Spanish capital could take place after the Euro. For Christian Karembeu, “Kylian Mbappé is right to join Real Madrid”.
The striker, whose contract with PSG expires at the end of June, will soon be a Madrid player. After becoming the top scorer in the history of the Parisian club and making an impression throughout his seven years in Paris, it is time to sail towards other skies, assures Real Madrid legend Christian Karembeu at the Europe 1 microphone of Jacques Vendroux: “It’s very good for Kylian to leave now and challenge himself in other championships. For me, it’s the best time to change. Mbappé is a model for all the kids from Bondy and who ‘inspired by him. Yes, it’s very good.
Kylian Mbappé will arrive in an institution which has just won its 15th Champions League and which has once again triumphed in the Spanish championship. But the real suspense concerns the presence or not of the 25-year-old star at the Paris Olympics. Perhaps we will know more this morning. Coach Thierry Henry will announce his list of players for the Olympic Games this Monday morning at 11 a.m. at the federation headquarters.
