In a surprising turn of events, Real Madrid has made its move to acquire Kylian Mbappe (25), with the player’s transfer to the Spanish club almost complete. According to reports from Spain’s Marca, it seems inevitable that Mbappe will be wearing the iconic white jersey of Real Madrid, fulfilling his dreams. The transfer fee is rumored to be a staggering 230 million euros (approximately 324 billion won), making it one of the biggest in football history.
Despite having signed a 2+1 year contract with PSG last year, Mbappe reportedly declined the option of a one-year extension, potentially making him a free agent (FA) next year. PSG had faced the possibility of losing their star player without receiving any transfer fee. However, they have now given up on Mbappe and chosen to sell him.
While the expected destination for Mbappe had been Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal, the player rejected their offer despite the club’s hefty bid of 300 million euros (around 423 billion won) for the transfer fee. Al-Hilal also promised to pay Mbappe an annual salary of 700 million euros (approximately 1 trillion won), including bonuses. Despite their efforts, Al-Hilal was unable to persuade Mbappe to negotiate.
Real Madrid’s interest in Mbappe comes at a crucial time for the club, as they are currently lacking a top-class forward to lead their scoring efforts. With veteran striker Karim Benzema having moved to Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, Real Madrid needs someone like Mbappe to fill the void. Fanside remarked, “Real Madrid has been without a top-class forward since the departure of Benzema at the end of last season. Mbappe has the potential to excel in that position and become the face of Real Madrid.”
The imminent transfer of Mbappe is a move that PSG is likely to accept, as they would prefer to receive a transfer fee rather than lose him for free next year. Experts predict that PSG expects Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid and is ready to finalize the deal.
With Real Madrid’s substantial offer and Mbappe’s desire to play for the iconic club, it is clear that the Saudi Arabian allure was not enough to sway him. Mbappe’s transfer is now a matter of when, rather than if, as the talented Frenchman is set to join the ranks of Real Madrid’s star-studded squad.

Kylian Mbappe (25, PSG) is also likely to wear the Real outfit of his dreams. On the 28th (Korea time), Sports Professional Fan Side borrowed news from Spain’s Marca, saying, “Real remains a strong team to recruit Mbappe this summer. Now, a move is inevitable. “The Mbappe’s transfer is almost complete. It’s done, and Mbappe is about to become a Real player.

However, an unexpected team appeared. Until recently, the team linked with signing Mbappe was none other than Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal. Al-Hilal prepared a huge amount of money for a large-scale acquisition. According to French Requipe, Al-Hilal offered 300 million euros (about 423 billion won) for Mbafe’s transfer fee, and PSG also accepted the offer. He also promised Mbafe an annual salary of 700 million euros (about 1 trillion won), including bonuses. But I couldn’t hold Mbappe’s heart. Mbappe refused to negotiate with al-Hilal.

In addition, he paid a transfer fee of 40 million euros (about 57 billion won) and brought Serie A midfielder from Italy, Sergei Milinkovic-Savic. However, Mbappe’s recruitment is likely to fail.
