This year, the football world has been rocked by the storyline of Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid.
The Paris Saint-Germain superstar is one of the best players in the world and he is tipped to take on the dominance of European football accolades now that Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi moved continents.
Needless to say, Mbappe is expected to join Real Madrid when his Paris Saint-Germain contract expires this year. He has just a few months remaining on his deal which keeps him in France but for many years, he has seemed destined to become a Real Madrid player so now is the perfect time for him to be unveiled at the Santiago Bernabeu.
According to a report by Marca, Kylian Mbappe is the one who will decide when he is ultimately announced as a new Real Madrid player. The report struggles to give an exact date but the feeling is that Mbappe would like to be announced in advance of the EURO 2024 competition, where he will surely represent France.
Mbappe has won all there is to win at club and country level, except for the Champions League and European Championship. He hopes to win the latter with France this summer and he is tipped to be the next star to win the former when he signs for Real Madrid this summer.
It is a transfer which will rock the football world. When he is announced, the domino affect will take place with Real Madrid expected to sell players, meaning many clubs across Europe will become beneficiaries. Also, PSG will need to sign a new superstar so they are expected to make at least one big signing this summer.
In essence, Mbappe to Real Madrid has many ripple effects so it is no surprise they are planning his announcement accordingly. From the fans' perspective, the sooner Mbappe is announced the better. However, the longer they are forced to wait, the sweeter the announcement will be. Patience is a virtue, Madridistas.
