Real Madrid Secures Kylian Mbappé After Long PSG Standoff

After numerous attempts, Real Madrid has finally secured the signing of Kylian Mbappé. The French forward joined the club this summer on a free transfer, having reached the end of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). However, Mbappé could have made the switch much earlier. In the summer of 2022, he expressed his desire to leave PSG, stating that he no longer wished to wear their jersey.

For many years, Real Madrid has been known for acquiring some of the world’s best football talents. This tradition dates back to the era of the Galactiques, when Florentino Pérez successfully brought in stars like Zinédine Zidane, David Beckham, and Ronaldo. This summer, the Madrid club continued this legacy by welcoming Kylian Mbappé from PSG.

Kylian Mbappé felt betrayed by PSG

During his final years at PSG, the relationship between Kylian Mbappé and the club became strained. Reports indicate that this tension peaked in the summer of 2022, when Mbappé was disappointed by the club’s failure to deliver on promises regarding new signings, including Bernardo Silva and Robert Lewandowski. The forward felt let down by these unmet expectations.

Mbappé was determined to leave PSG in the summer of 2022

According to sources, Kylian Mbappé seriously considered leaving PSG during the summer of 2022, with his representatives formally communicating this intention to the club. At that time, he was resolute in his decision not to wear the Parisian colors any longer. Ultimately, he remained at PSG for two more years, but his relationship with the club’s management did not improve.
