Kylian Mbappé’s Dream Transfer to Real Madrid: A Childhood Wish Fulfilled
Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid has been the talk of the football world. The French superstar has inked a five-year deal with the Spanish giants, and although his new salary of €15 million a year is a step down from his previous €25 million at PSG, Mbappé couldn’t be happier.
He’s been dreaming of donning the white of Real Madrid since he was a kid, and now that dream is a reality.
In a heartwarming nod to his childhood aspirations, Mbappé shared a series of throwback photos decked out in Real Madrid gear.
Among these was a special snapshot with none other than Cristiano Ronaldo, who was a Real Madrid icon at the time. Ronaldo, always one to appreciate the next generation of talent, left a touching comment on Mbappé’s post, saying, “My turn to watch. Excited to see you light up the Bernabeu. #HalaMadrid.”
This simple yet powerful message from Ronaldo resonated with millions, quickly becoming the most liked comment in Instagram history, surpassing 4 million likes.
It’s a testament to the influence and legacy of Ronaldo, as well as the excitement surrounding Mbappé’s new chapter at the Bernabeu. Fans around the world can’t wait to see Mbappé’s brilliance on the pitch, continuing the legacy of greatness at Real Madrid.
Footballer Lamine Yamal speaks on the Ballon d’Or award and shares how he will still be happy if his teammate, Pau Cubarsí, gets the award.
“Last year, for me, Cubarsí was the best young player in the world. Either the Kopa award or the Ballon d’Or should go to him. There’s no difference between us.
“When I won it, I told him that he would be next. If he doesn’t win it for whatever reason, I will give it to him.”
Popular footballer Cristiano Ronaldo speaks on retirement and shares how he actually thought of retiring from international football after the 2026 World Cup.
“I thought about retiring from international football after the World Cup, but I spoke to the president, coach, and I am still here. I am an asset, I can help.”
He adds, “The young kids love me because they see me as an example, and that, for me, is the most important thing. I will continue to do that even when I retire after 10 years.”
Footballer Kylian Mbappé shares that he actually came close to signing with Liverpool.
“I was close to Liverpool. My mum was a big fan of Jurgen Klopp, and the favourite destination for my mum was Liverpool. She wanted me to go there,” Mbappé told The Athletic.
“I didn’t listen because I wanted to play in my city, Paris. I didn’t want to leave my country before I was someone. But yes, my mum was always saying, ‘Liverpool — you’re going to be there, playing at Anfield, it’s going to be insane for you.’ I was like, ‘OK!’
“All the time we were talking. ‘What do you think, Mum?’ She’d say, ‘For me, you have to go to Liverpool.’ I said, ‘OK, OK, OK!’ because Jurgen Klopp was an amazing manager. I met him and had a wonderful relationship with him. I had big respect for him.”
