If he were to sign for Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé would be welcomed with joy. But a signature would still be missing.
On and off the pitch, Kylian Mbappé is definitely the center of a lot of attention. A few days ago, the fact that he announced his departure from Paris Saint-Germain to its president had already caused the soap opera to bounce back on his sporting future. Sunday afternoon, his replacement after an hour of play during the Ligue 1 match against Stade Rennais (1-1) also got people talking. And now this Monday, it is on the side of Madrid that the Mbappé subject (re) reared its head.
Well placed at the entrance to the Madrid club’s training center, the journalists from the show El Chiringuito took advantage of the slow passage of Real players to ask them questions about Kylian Mbappé. Some responded with a smile, others obviously had other fish to fry. The funniest was Eduardo Camavinga who was surprised by the question: “ I don’t know why you’re asking me that. » The French midfielder will say no more.
Full agreement pending
Federico Valverde, showing a little smirk at the mention of a possible arrival of the PSG striker, replied: “ He’s a great player. He is clearly welcome. » As for Joselu, absent this weekend during Madrid’s small success against Sevilla FC (1-0) due to injury, he preferred to avoid the question by ironically: ” Mbappé? I have much more important things to do. » The Madrid striker is perhaps not really in a hurry to see a direct competitor of the caliber of Kylian Mbappé arrive at Real.
All this being said, and even if the trend towards an arrival at Real Madrid next summer is very strong, there would not yet be a total agreement between the Merengue club and Kylian Mbappé. Certain points remain under discussion and nothing has yet been definitively signed. Maybe just a matter of days or weeks. Whatever happens, everyone is preparing to welcome the tricolor nugget.
