Mbappe is reportedly leaving Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the summer transfer market of 2021 to continue his career at Real Madrid. The decision above is clearly confusing, considering that PSG has been defended by a row of star players who can help Kylian Mbappe win his dream trophy, namely the Champions League.
However, what causes Kylian Mbappe to want to join Real Madrid even though there are players like Lionel Messi at PSG? Plus, Kylian Mbappe also gets a starter guarantee for his abilities.
Italian media, La Gazzetta dello Sport, apparently knows the answer. Kylian Mbappe wants to defend the team that makes him the center of the project.
At PSG, that status is difficult to get Kylian Mbappe. Because at PSG, there are a number of star players such as Neymar Jr. to Lionel Messi. It’s different if Kylian Mbappe leaves for Real Madrid.
With Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe can be a mainstay player. Because, apart from Karim Benzema who is not young anymore, there is no really big figure in the current Real Madrid squad. Reportedly on Monday 16 August 2021, Kylian Mbappe will announce his future.
“Mbappe announced his future on Monday. Mbappe wants to be the center of a project and that’s where Real Madrid will appear,” wrote La Gazzetta, citing Twitter @MadridXtra.
The confirmation was also conveyed by a journalist from Spain, Jose Luis Sanchez. He said Kylian Mbappe wanted to defend Real Madrid.
“Mbappe wants to play for Real Madrid now, even though PSG signed Lionel Messi. He really wants Madrid,” said Jose Luis Sanchez, quoting from Twitter @MadridXtra.
La Liga president Javier Tebas also spoke up. He said Real Madrid would sign another star player in the remainder of the transfer window, although he could not confirm whether the player in question was Kylian Mbappe or not.
“Real Madrid will sign players. I don’t know Mbappe or other players,” said Javier Tebas, quoting from Twitter @eldesmarque.
