La Liga President, Javier Tebas, has confirmed speculations surrounding Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe’s future, stating that the French star will join Real Madrid next season.
Mbappe, the 25-year-old France captain, recently announced his departure from PSG at the end of his contract this summer, sparking widespread anticipation regarding his next destination. Madrid has long been touted as Mbappe’s likely destination, with negotiations reportedly reaching a successful conclusion after years of pursuit by the Spanish giants.
Tebas’s declaration to Argentine daily sports newspaper Ole on Monday solidifies Mbappe’s imminent move to Real Madrid, where he is expected to bolster an already formidable squad led by the likes of Brazil’s Vinicius Junior and England international Jude Bellingham.
Despite Madrid’s recent successes, including clinching the Spanish title and securing a spot in the Champions League final, Tebas emphasized that Mbappe’s arrival does not guarantee further triumphs. However, he acknowledged the undeniable talent Mbappe brings to the team and the heightened anticipation surrounding Madrid’s prospects with him on board.
Mbappe’s record-breaking tenure at PSG, during which he became the club’s all-time leading scorer with 256 goals, will undoubtedly leave a lasting legacy. Despite clinching multiple French league titles, Mbappe’s quest for Champions League glory remained unfulfilled, with PSG finishing as runners-up in 2020.
By joining Real Madrid, a club synonymous with Champions League success, Mbappe aims to enhance his chances of claiming club football’s most prestigious trophy. With Madrid’s rich history of 14 Champions League triumphs, Mbappe’s addition adds further firepower to their quest for European glory.
