While waiting for Kylian Mbappé to arrive in Madrid in June 2024 or this summer, a driver is already waiting for him in the Spanish capital. For this job, it was Jorge Valdano who raised his hand.
Impatience is starting to be felt in the Kylian Mbappé file. On the side of Paris Saint-Germain, the Qatari management is waiting for their player to agree to return to the negotiating table so as not to see him go free at the end of his contract set for June 30, 2024. In Madrid, there is also an atmosphere of contained excitement, between those who have not forgotten anything about last year’s about-face and no longer want to hear about Kylian Mbappé, and those who can no longer wait for the arrival of the 2018 world champion .
In the rank of this last category, a history of Real Madrid figures prominently. Asked about the subject as part of a conference in which he participated at the headquarters of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) organized on the side of Luque (Paraguay), the Argentine had a word for Mbappé, but also his critics. ” For the moment, this is not on the agenda. However, I hope it will be. And if some people are mad at him, don’t worry, I’ll pick him up at the airport myself.”
The engine is running
Kylian Mbappé can therefore be reassured, if no one comes to welcome him when he arrives in Madrid, he can count on the one who was notably a player and sports director of Real. It remains to know the exact date of the big arrival of the Bondynois. If nothing seems to be moving at the moment, everything could accelerate in the last weeks of August. In the meantime, the engine of Jorge Valdano’s vehicle is running.
