Kylian Mbappe agrees move to Real Madrid amid Liverpool links

Kylian Mbappe and his agreement to join Real Madrid for the 2024/25 season marks a significant development in the football transfer landscape with Liverpool also among the parties involved.

This news, initially brought to light by Le Parisien via ESPN [h/t ECHO], indicates that the French forward’s decision about his future is final, and he has chosen the Spanish giants as his next destination.

The anticipation surrounding Mbappe‘s future has been a focal point of football discussions for a considerable period. Despite persistent speculation linking him with various clubs, including Liverpool, the prospect of him joining Real Madrid seem to have come to fruition. The 25-year-old forward, already a global star beyond football, stands all set to embark on a new chapter with Los Blancos as a Galactico.

THE Mbappe Saga

This development may not come as a significant jolt for Liverpool, a club that has often found itself in the mix of transfer rumours involving Mbappe. The Reds have been linked with the French sensation over the years, but the reality of such a transfer happening always seemed like an outside chance. In terms of reported interest and speculation, Liverpool consistently played second fiddle to Real Madrid.

While Liverpool fans may have harboured dreams of seeing Mbappe don the famous red jersey, the pragmatic view is that securing a player of Mbappe’s calibre is an immensely competitive endeavour. Real Madrid’s allure, combined with their historical success and financial prowess, often positions them as formidable contenders in the transfer market. They would find it easier than FSG to cater to Mbappe’s astronomical wage demands.

PSG, with their unlimited bank balance, will make a move for AC Milan’s Rafael Leao to replace the potentially outgoing Mbappe who has scored 29 goals and seven assists in 28 appearances across all competitions.
