Kylian Mbappe started making the headlines in 2016 and 2017 as being the next best thing in World football. Rising from the ranks of Monaco, Mbappe joined PSG in the summer of 2017 for a loan deal. The following year, the deal was made final as he continued to stay at the Parisian club for the next 7 years.
In between post 2022, Real Madrid and other clubs have shown great interest in buying the superstar. Mbappe had his fair share of contract extension and fresh contract denial talks with PSG. In 2022, Real Madrid offered him £180 million transfer fee which was then turned down by PSG. Finally, Mbappe declined to trigger his 1 year contract extension and left PSG as a free agent this summer. And now he joins Real Madrid as a Galactico signing.
