The arrival of Frenchman Kylian Mbappé to the ranks of the Merengue club is becoming more and more certain by the day. After creating quite a spectacle around this transfer, the dots on the i’s and the crosses on the t’s are about to be fixed, as he will no longer continue with his host, Paris Saint-Germain.
Among the fanatics of the Spanish white club, many tongues are wagging, especially regarding the number, position, probable line-ups, or even the responsibilities that will be assigned with his arrival.
Others see in Mbappé’s choice to join the ranks of president Florentino Pérez an opportunity to reach the holy grail of football, which is the Ballon d’Or. Among these, Aitor Karanka, a legend of the Spanish club who played from 1997 to 2002, has spoken out about the fate of the French captain.
“I don’t know if it’s what he needs, but it’s what I would do for any team in the world.
Moreover, if he comes to Real Madrid, he will be eligible for the Ballon d’Or, possibly even more so than today. In my opinion, he is currently the best player in the world, and he would bring other things to the team,” he told Spanish media outlet Marca.
End of a journey
Ligue 1, as well as PSG supporters, will no longer have the pleasure of seeing the strides of the 26-year-old young man, Kylian Mbappé.
On May 12, 2024, Mbappé played his 246th and final match in the colors of his club (lost 3-1 to Toulouse), where he spent approximately 9 seasons of his career.
Despite his numerous records, they were insufficient for him to clinch the Ballon d’Or or a UEFA Champions League title.
