Kylian Mbappe joins Real Madrid

This move is going to happen sooner or later but I think Florentino Perez and Zidane are working on this galactico signing. Given we have completed the three main signings before July, Zidane and Perez will work on Mbappe and one midfielder probably Pogba as the various sources suggest. MARCA reported a while back that club is looking to sign hazard, Mendy, Jovic, one midfielder and one big signing probably Mbappe. Mbappe was Madrid bound but as AS reported Perez refused to sell Gareth Bale despite Zidane’s demands and therefore the French forward ended up at the capital of France than that of Spain. This Zidane has come only after making sure the club will totally support him and will give him liberty to sign the players he wants. After the departures and the midfielder signing most probably in August, we will see the Mbappe drama unfold. Perez is a smart man though unlike Bartomeu and said in an interview when asked about Mbappe “if we want their player we will contact the club, not the player. ” He clearly knows what happened when Barcelona went behind the back to sign Marco Veratti but in turn ended up losing Neymar. This one is going to be interesting but I hope to see Mbappe in white and gold this summer.
