Jude Bellingham has had a spectacular 2023-2024 season with Real Madrid and seems destined to become one of the successors to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> as the best player in the world.



After becoming a revelation with Borussia Dortmund, Bellingham decided to make the big leap to Spain trying to win the most important titles at the club level. At the moment, the midfielder has already conquered La Liga and is one victory away from lifting the Champions League.



In this scenario, Jude Bellingham is one of the strongest candidates to win the 2024 Ballon d’Or in an open race with other names like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> or Erling Haaland. It is very likely that the UEFA Euro will be the determining factor for the voters.



Therefore, given the anticipation to find out who will be the young player to occupy the throne in soccer, Jude was questioned about who is the best player in the world, considering that Leo and CR7 are still shining in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi Arabia</a>.

<h2>Who is the best player in the world for Jude Bellingham?</h2>



During Real Madrid’s parade to celebrate La Liga title with their fans in the Spanish capital, a reporter asked Jude Bellingham how he felt after winning his first major title in the country.







Bellingham decided to pay tribute to who he currently considers the best player in the world. “Yes. I feel very good. I am very happy here today with the best player in the world. Very happy.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/video-cristiano-ronaldo-gets-closer-to-another-incredible-record-in-saudi-arabia"></div>


At that moment, Real Madrid TV cameras decided to widen the shot and Vinicius Jr appeared laughing. The Brazilian star thanked him for the gesture by hugging him, and both shouted: ‘Hala Madrid!!!’



So, from Jude’s perspective, Vinicius Jr is the best player in the world and, if Vini has a fantastic performance in Copa America with Brazil, he could take the Ballon d’Or away from Bellingham. It will be one of the great stories to follow in the summer.

After months of speculation, Kylian Mbappe took to social media on Friday to confirm he will not stay at Paris Saint-Germain next season. Now, it seems to be a matter of when and not if for him to join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>.



While Fabrizio Romano reports the Frenchman’s move to the Spanish capital is all but done, Sky Sport‘s transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio claims Real Madrid will announce Mbappe after the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">UEFA Champions League</a> final.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/borussia-dortmund-vs-real-madrid-date-and-time-for-the-2024-25-champions-league-final">On June 1, Carlo Ancelotti’s side will play Borussia Dortmund</a> at Wembley aiming to win the 15th European Cup for Los Blancos. The LaLiga giants will then have between June 2 and June 7 to announce Mbappe before Euro 2024.



<h2>Mbappe still looking for first Champions League title</h2>



At 25, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Mbappe</a> has yet to taste continental glory at the club level, which may explain why he’s joining Real Madrid, the most successful club in UEFA Champions League history.

The French international tried to help <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> win the title all these years, but the trophy proved to be quite elusive for the Parisians. They came close in 2020, losing 1-0 to Bayern in the final.

Mbappe also reached the semis on three occasions, but could never reached the promised land during his time in the French capital. Here’s how Mbappe fared in every UCL campaign with PSG:

Mbappe leaving PSG: When will Real Madrid announce him? - Bolavip US

Mbappe leaves PSG: When will Real Madrid reportedly announce the French star?

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> has officially announced his departure from PSG after seven years. The star of the French club dominated <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ligue-1">Ligue 1</a>, but he will leave with the unfinished business of not having been able to win the Champions League.



“I’ve always said I would speak with you when the time comes. So, I wanted to announce you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to and in a few weeks.”



Following the elimination against Borussia Dortmund, Mbappe will seek to lift his last title with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> during the French Cup final on May 25 against Lyon. In fact, his last official performance at the Parc des Princes will be this Sunday against Toulouse. The next chapter will be <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>.



“It’s a lot of emotions. Many years where I had the chance and the great honor to be a member of the biggest French club. One of the best in the world.”

<h2>Why is Kylian Mbappe officially leaving PSG?</h2>



The contract of Kylian Mbappe with PSG ends this summer. In this case, the French player would sign as a free agent with Real Madrid trying to conquer the only big trophy he is missing: the Champions League.







Mbappe’s reasons for leaving Paris Saint-Germain are more about sports than economics. If he had stayed in France, Kylian would have broken the record for the largest contract in history with a possible extension.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/mls-inter-miami-coach-explains-if-angel-di-maria-will-play-with-lionel-messi"></div>


However, Kylian Mbappe is 25 years old and understands that if he doesn’t make a change, he will fall far behind in the race to be the best player in the world compared to other stars like Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham or Erling Haaland.



The spotlight of Real Madrid, along with the power of the French national team, could be the key factors that push him to dominate the Ballon d’Or, becoming the successor to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>.

Why is Kylian Mbappe leaving PSG? - Bolavip US

Why is Kylian Mbappe leaving PSG and Ligue 1?

It’s official. Kylian Mbappe has confirmed Friday he will leave Paris Saint-Germain as a free agent at the end of the season, with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> expected to be his next team from the 2024-25 campaign.



The French superstar announced his decision through a video posted on social media, and even though he didn’t reveal which team he’ll be playing for next season, Fabrizio Romano already suggested <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Mbappe</a>‘s future is in the Spanish capital.



Marca reported a few months ago the 25-year-old had already signed a pre-contract agreement with Los Blancos in January. Last year, Mbappe reportedly let <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> know he would not trigger the option to extend for another year, which is why he was entitled to negotiate as a free agent since the beginning of 2024.



<h2>Mbappe’s possible shirt number at Real Madrid</h2>



While Real Madrid have yet to confirm this move, Mundo Deportivo reported a few months back <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-kylian-mbappes-potential-jersey-number-at-real-madrid-revealed-20240220-BUS-106176.html">Mbappe will wear the No. 10 shirt</a> at the Santiago Bernabeu.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240510_BUS_125216_Mbappe-Real-Madrid-1024x576_35bfe4de.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Scarves with the faces of Kylian Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jude Bellingham are seen for sale outside the stadium prior to the LaLiga EA Sports match between Real Madrid CF and Sevilla FC at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on February 25, 2024 in Madrid, Spain." class="wp-image-107733" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081442/Mbappe-Real-Madrid-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081442/Mbappe-Real-Madrid-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081442/Mbappe-Real-Madrid-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081442/Mbappe-Real-Madrid-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/02/28081442/Mbappe-Real-Madrid.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Scarves with the faces of Kylian Mbappe, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jude Bellingham are seen for sale outside the stadium prior to the LaLiga EA Sports match between Real Madrid CF and Sevilla FC at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on February 25, 2024 in Madrid, Spain.</figcaption></figure>



The number will reportedly become available as Luka Modric’s contract runs out this summer. Even though fans got used to seeing Kylian wear No. 7 at PSG, he also dons No. 10 for Les Bleus.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/how-many-champions-league-titles-had-messi-ronaldo-won-at-mbappes-age"></div>


<h2>Mbappe next to Vinicius Junior up front?</h2>



Another intriguing question about Mbappe’s hypothetical arrival in Madrid is his position on the field. Carlo Ancelotti counts on a star-studded attacking line led by Vinicius Junior, but the Frenchman could provide even more firepower.



Since the Brazilian is untouchable on the left wing, it would make sense if Mbappe plays as a striker, with Rodrygo on the right wing. But the latter could also be dropped to the bench to let Vini and Mbappe up front with more support from the midfield.

The UEFA Champions League continues to elude Paris Saint-Germain. With Lionel Messi and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar">Neymar</a> gone, the French side hoped building around Kylian Mbappe could pay off, but it once again fell short from the ultimate goal.



This time, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> were beaten by Borussia Dortmund in the semifinals as a lackluster <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/with-messi-gone-french-media-now-slams-mbappe-over-psgs-champions-league-exit">Mbappe failed to put the team on his back</a> to reach the grand final at Wembley. Now that the Frenchman looks set to leave as a free agent, it’s inevitable to think about all the money invested by the club only to have zero <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> titles to show for it.



According to Front Office Sports, Paris Saint-Germain have spent $1.2 billion in total for Mbappe, Messi and Neymar. Let’s take a look at how this breaks down for each star.



<h2>How much PSG spent on Mbappe</h2>



It’s safe to say <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> is one of the biggest projects PSG have had since the Qatari takeover in 2011. In fact, the club reportedly spent $574 million in total for the French player.

After landing the player on loan in 2017, the Parisians made Mbappe’s move permanent in 2018 by forking out $194 million to get him from Monaco. Then, the striker went on to make $80m in his first deal.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/with-messi-gone-french-media-now-slams-mbappe-over-psgs-champions-league-exit"></div>


In the summer of 2022, PSG persuaded Mbappe to stay by handing him an extension worth $235 million, along with a $65 million bonus. Now, the 25-year-old is expected to leave for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> as a free agent.



<ul><li>Transfer fee: $194m </li><li>First contract: $80m</li><li>Contract extension: $235m</li><li>Bonuses: $65m</li><li>Total: $574 million</li></ul>



<h2>How much PSG spent on Messi</h2>



Paris Saint-Germain pulled off a blockbuster move by landing coveted free agent Lionel Messi in the summer of 2021. Shortly before that, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> shockingly announced they were unable to keep the Argentine star due to LaLiga’s salary cap rules.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240508_BUS_124799_Lionel-Messi-at-PSG-1024x576_73e7f89c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Lionel Messi at PSG" class="wp-image-77373" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093129/Lionel-Messi-at-PSG-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093129/Lionel-Messi-at-PSG-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093129/Lionel-Messi-at-PSG-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093129/Lionel-Messi-at-PSG-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28093129/Lionel-Messi-at-PSG.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Lionel Messi during a game with PSG.</figcaption></figure>



Ironically, one of the wealthiest clubs on Earth managed to sign arguably the world’s best player for nothing. PSG had to offer Messi a lucrative salary though, with the 8x Ballon d’Or winner reportedly making $72 million in his two years in the French capital.

<h2>How much PSG spent on Neymar</h2>



PSG showed off all their financial power in 2017, when they landed Neymar from Barcelona in a world-record $239 million move, which remains the most expensive transfer in soccer history.



But the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ligue-1">Ligue 1</a> side went on to invest even more money on the Brazilian superstar, spending $217 million in his first contract. The Santos product agreed to an extension worth $122m in 2021, increasing PSG’s total spending on Ney to an astonishing $578 million.

The mind-boggling sum PSG spent on Mbappe, Messi and Neymar for unsuccessful Champions League mission

PSG still with no Champions Leagues: All the money spent on Mbappe, Messi and Neymar - Bolavip US

PSG’s UCL title drought: How much have they spent on Mbappe, Messi and Neymar?

It’s happened again. Paris Saint-Germain‘s wait for an elusive UEFA Champions League title extends as Borussia Dortmund gained the upper hand in the semifinals. With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> no longer at the club, this time it was Kylian Mbappe who was singled out by the French media.



L’Equipe, who was harsh on the Argentine star more than once, was critical of Mbappe’s performance in the series. The striker was given a 2 in the player ratings, the lowest score for a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> player alongside Ousmane Dembele.



“Mbappé, the unfinished work (…), will never lift the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> with PSG. Kylian Mbappé will not have completed his mission, due to an unbeatable Borussia Dortmund, who defended him perfectly during the two matches, but also because of his own fault: he did almost everything wrong in 180 minutes,” the review raid.



The newspaper acknowledged <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Mbappe</a> almost lead a comeback in the final minutes, yet they considered “a player like him shouldn’t wait so long before making a difference. With 18 balls lost (…), deployed on the left flank, despite it being his favorite zone, the captain of Les Bleus disappointed. His footprint in Paris will be tarnished forever.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="432" height="762" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240508_BUS_124785_image-2_e48e2219.webp&amp;width=432&amp;height=762" alt="" class="wp-image-124796" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/image-2.png 432w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/image-2-170x300.png 170w" sizes="(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px"></figure></figure>



The 25-year-old was also destroyed by Le Parisien, who rated his performance with a 3.5: “One last sad dance. We hoped he would lead the way, instead, the world champion had all the difficulties in the world to generate danger while playing in his preferred zone, on the left, or to make notable differences. A volley (7′), a shot against the crossbar (86′), but apart from that, the attacker was very discreet, just like in the first leg.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/how-many-champions-league-titles-had-messi-ronaldo-won-at-mbappes-age"></div>


<h2>Now it’s Mbappe, before it was Messi</h2>



This is the first time Mbappe is exclusively under fire for a PSG loss, since the media used to point fingers at other stars before blaming the national hero. While Neymar was also criticized, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/French-media-slams-Lionel-Messi-defends-Kylian-Mbappe-after-PSGs-shocking-loss-20230501-0007.html">Messi was frequently made a scapegoat</a> to the team’s struggles in his two seasons at the Parc des Princes.

The 8x Ballon d’Or winner’s relationship with the French press and fans only got worse when Argentina beat France at the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar, leading to his departure for Inter Miami in July 2023.

<h2>Mbappe expected to leave PSG for Real Madrid</h2>



Now that neither Neymar nor Messi are still in Paris, much of the blame for another European failure for PSG falls on Mbappe. But this may also have to do with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/kylian-mbappes-future-has-been-officially-confirmed-by-luis-enrique-20240306-BUS-109512.html">rumors about Kylian’s future</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/mls-team-confirms-kylian-mbappe-visit-ahead-of-next-season"></div>


The former Monaco star is expected to leave the French capital in the summer to join Real Madrid as a free agent, a dream move he postponed in 2022 to give it another shot at PSG. With his future probably outside France, the player seems to be no longer protected by the national media.

With Messi gone, French media now slams Mbappe over PSG's Champions League exit

Paris Saint-Germain have once again fallen short in their quest for a coveted UEFA Champions League title, which means <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> has yet to join Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the list of winners.



This time, it was Borussia Dortmund who upset <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> in a hard-fought semifinal tie with a 2-0 aggregate score. This wasn’t the closest Mbappe came from lifting the trophy, but it did look like a great opportunity to end his drought.



At 25 years old (he turns 26 in December), Mbappe is still waiting for an elusive <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> success. At his age, both Messi and Ronaldo already knew what celebrating a continental triumph was like.



<h2>Lionel Messi’s Champions Leagues at Mbappe’s age</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> already boasted three UEFA Champions League medals at Mbappe’s age. Though the Argentine star didn’t play in the 2006 final, he was a member of Barcelona’s first team by then so that title is part of his résumé. Then, he went on two help Barca win three more trophies, two of them before turning 25.

<h2>Cristiano Ronaldo’s Champions Leagues at Mbappe’s age</h2>



Unlike Messi, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a> had to wait a bit longer to show off multiple Champions Leagues on his cabinet. However, he already had one medal at Mbappe’s age, as the Portuguese helped Manchester United win the 2008 title at 23.

Mbappe still waiting: How many Champions Leagues had Messi and Ronaldo won at the PSG star's age?

Messi, Ronaldo's Champions League titles at Mbappe's age - Bolavip US

How many Champions League titles had Messi, Ronaldo won at Mbappe's age?

PSG had a historic night at Montjuic to eliminate <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> quarterfinals. Ligue 1 will have a representative in the semifinals in what could be the last season of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> in France.



After the first leg match held at the Parc des Princes, official Barcelona accounts on social media made allusions to the 3-2 lead taken by the Spanish team, such as placing a Barcelona jersey on the famous Mona Lisa or flying a hot air balloon in the blaugrana colors over Paris.



Now, after completing the spectacular comeback, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> didn’t forget about those messages and responded emphatically by showing the famous air hot balloon completely deflated over the waters of the Seine.



During Wednesday morning, Paris Saint-Germain posted the image accompanied by a message directed at the Spanish club. “It’s five o’clock, Paris awakens.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="529" height="556" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240417_BUS_119666_psg_197ae930.webp&amp;width=529&amp;height=556" alt="" class="wp-image-119712" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/psg.jpeg 529w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/psg-285x300.jpeg 285w" sizes="(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px"></figure><figcaption>Twitter / @PSG_inside</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Ligue 1 mocks FC Barcelona</h2>



Furthermore, the official Spanish account of Ligue 1 also mocked Barcelona for the other image that went viral after the first leg in Paris. The one with the Mona Lisa wearing the team’s jersey at the Louvre Museum.







In response, Ligue 1 opted to use the Sagrada Familia church, the great symbol of Barcelona to the world. It had a bit of a plot twist to celebrate PSG’s victory on the road.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240203#BUS#102052"></div>


“We already finished it.” The message is a clear mockery since the construction of the Sagrada Familia has not yet been completed, and in this case, Kylian Mbappe closes the work by placing the Paris Saint-Germain flag at the top. Epic trolling.

PSG and Ligue 1 epic troll to Barcelona after Champions League victory

Kylian Mbappe took all the limelight as PSG eliminated <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> from the UEFA Champions League, a triumph celebrated by Real Madrid as their lifelong rivals are no longer in contention for the trophy.



On top of that, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/monaco">AS Monaco</a> may have given the Merengues yet another reason to celebrate Mbappe’s performance. On their Spanish account on X, the Ligue 1 side seemed to suggest the 25-year-old will move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer.



“For the players we share, and for those to come!,” Monaco’s Spanish account on X (formerly Twitter) posted shortly after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Mbappe</a> bagged a brace in the return leg of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> quarterfinals against Barca.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="593" height="236" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240416_BUS_119389_image-13_ec8e167c.webp&amp;width=593&amp;height=236" alt="" class="wp-image-119390" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/image-13.png 593w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/image-13-300x119.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 593px) 100vw, 593px"></figure></figure>



<h2>Mbappe might join list of players who donned both Monaco, Madrid uniforms</h2>



Let’s keep in mind the likes of Aurelien Tchouameni, Fernando Morientes, Fabio Coentrao, and Javier Saviola, among others, have played both for Monaco and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240306#BUS#109512"></div>




Mbappe is expected to join that list this summer, when his contract with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">Paris Saint-Germain</a> expires. The French international reportedly decided not to trigger a player option for next season, enabling him to hit the free agency at the end of the season.



According to Marca, Mbappe signed a pre-contract agreement with Real Madrid months ago. In fact, the club is reportedly preparing to give him the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-kylian-mbappes-potential-jersey-number-at-real-madrid-revealed-20240220-BUS-106176.html">iconic No. 10 shirt</a>, which is set to become available with Luka Modric’s deal running out in June.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> raised many eyebrows with his latest post on Instagram. Shortly after being subbed off only 63 minutes into the derby between <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/olympique-marseille">Marseille</a>, the Frenchman shared a picture of the moment he left the field.



With his head looking down, with the captain’s armband off and no caption, his post was deemed somewhat cryptic and gave plenty to talk about on social media. Paris Saint-Germain won 2-0, but that was kind of overshadowed by this situation.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1008" height="742" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240401_BUS_115917_image_8ff45fa0.webp&amp;width=1008&amp;height=742" alt="" class="wp-image-115921" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/image.png 1008w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/image-300x221.png 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/image-768x565.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px"></figure></figure>



Let’s keep in mind his future at the club looks uncertain. Mbappe, who reportedly decided not to trigger a player option for next season, runs out of contract in July. Word on the street is he will join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> as a free agent, though there’s no official confirmation yet.



<h2>Mbappe’s reaction to being subbed off during the PSG-OM derby</h2>



The 25-year-old has played the full 90 minutes in just one of his last seven matches. When he realized Gonçalo Ramos was coming on for him on Sunday, Mbappe looked quite upset.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">😳 La déception de Kylian Mbappé au moment de sortir à la 64e minute.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/OMPSG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#OMPSG</a> <a href="https://t.co/7tWfEOJFKq">pic.twitter.com/7tWfEOJFKq</a>— Prime Video Sport France (@PVSportFR) <a href="https://twitter.com/PVSportFR/status/1774530014005878883?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 31, 2024</a></blockquote></div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div></figure>



His reaction immediately went viral on the Internet, and his Instagram post only made something bigger out of this. Of course, PSG coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-enrique">Luis Enrique</a> had to address questions about this situation his post-game press conference, but he wasn’t happy to be asked about it.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240306#BUS#109512"></div>


<h2>Luis Enrique explains why he subbed off Mbappe</h2>



“It’s the same music every single week, the same music… it’s so boring. I am the coach, I make the decisions every day, every week,” Enrique told Prime Video Sport. “I am going to do the same until my last day in Paris. I always try to find the best solution for my team. Even if you don’t (understand it), I don’t care. I don’t care at all”.



The Spanish coach had already explained a few weeks ago he was giving more playing time to other players so that the team could be prepared to play without Mbappe. That was taken by many as a sign that the striker is on the way out, but the manager is not ready to confirm that.



“I keep my hope about Mbappé staying at PSG. He hasn’t announced anything yet… he can change his mind, no? Imagine if we win four titles and Mbappé decides to stay at PSG… why not?,” Enrique said.

Next summer, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> must make the most important decision of his career. An impressive contract renewal with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> or the pursuit of sporting glory at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a>.



According to almost all reports, Mbappe will play in Spain to join a team full of stars like Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Antonio Rüdiger, Rodrygo, and Toni Kroos. Undoubtedly, the arrival of the French player would make them favorites to win it all.



Now, one of the legends of Real Madrid, Luis Figo, was questioned about the reason why Mbappe has to leave <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/france">France</a> to join the famous “merengues.” In recent weeks, very few people in the football world had decided to touch on the topic.

<h2>Why Kylian Mbappe should sign for Real Madrid?</h2>



Luis Figo spoke out about Kylian Mbappe’s possible signing for Real Madrid. It all happened after this Saturday’s game between legends of the Spanish club and Porto in the Corazon Classic Match. The Portuguese legennd believes this could be a new version of the famous ‘Galacticos’.







“Not bad the Real Madrid of the Galacticos 1.0, it won’t be bad the 2.0. It’s a very personal decision. It depends on many things, but in terms of global prestige, there is no other team that can give it to you more than Madrid.”

Report: Kylian Mbappe has chosen his next club between Real Madrid and PSG

Kylian Mbappe\&#039;s future has been officially confirmed by Luis Enrique

Luis Figo explains why Kylian Mbappe should sign with Real Madrid - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> has a big decision to make at the end of the season, with his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> contract coming to an end. Amid strong speculation around his future, an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a> side ‘confirmed’ the Frenchman will come to town in the summer.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/charlotte-fc">Charlotte FC</a> raised many eyebrows on Tuesday, with their social media team claiming the 25-year-old is expected to be in the city soon. “Mbappe to Charlotte confirmed (technically),” the club said on X (formerly Twitter).



Many suddenly saw this post on their timeline and wondered why the club was confirming this. It’s safe to say it was related to its previous tweet, in which it announced a high-profile friendly between Real Madrid and Chelsea on Aug. 6 at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte as part of the Soccer Champions Tour.



With Madrid’s visit in mind, the Major League Soccer franchise made the connection with the strong rumor that Mbappe will leave Paris Saint-Germain for Los Blancos in July.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="586" height="136" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240319_BUS_112578_image-12_9cc251bc.webp&amp;width=586&amp;height=136" alt="" class="wp-image-112585" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/image-12.png 586w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/image-12-300x70.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 586px) 100vw, 586px"></figure></figure>



<h2>Mbappe expected to join Real Madrid</h2>



According to Marca, the 2022 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup">World Cup</a> Golden Boot winner has already agreed on a pre-contract with the Merengue many weeks ago. PSG have yet to confirm whether Mbappe will leave, but coach Luis Enrique has started to give more playing time to other players.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240306#BUS#109512"></div>


Reports from Spain even suggest Madrid already have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-kylian-mbappes-potential-jersey-number-at-real-madrid-revealed-20240220-BUS-106176.html">Mbappe’s shirt number in mind</a>, with the club expected to hand him the historic No. 10 as Luka Modric is playing on an expiring contract this term.



Mbappe had already flirted with a Santiago Bernabeu move in the summer of 2022, but ultimately changed his mind. While PSG announced his extension would run until 2025, it turns out the third year was optional, and Mbappe reportedly has no intention to exercise it.

The surprising reason Kylian Mbappe was 'confirmed' by MLS team

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> made another strong statement by scoring two goals in PSG’s 2-1 victory against Real Sociedad in the second-leg of the Round of 16 in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a>. Despite rumors about his future, the French star continues his quest to bring the most coveted trophy to PSG.



Luis Enrique has had to deal with the looming shadow of Real Madrid over Mbappe, but for months, the coach had warned that Paris Saint-Germain would be very dangerous when the elimination stages of the tournament arrived.



Now, in a surprising statement, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-enrique">Luis Enrique</a> admitted at the end of the match in San Sebastian that Kylian Mbappe will leave <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> next summer. He had never spoken officially about the player’s future before.



“I’m not going to reveal it. You already know my opinion on Kylian. A world-class player. He will score 50 goals and provide 25 assists under any coach and with any team. Unfortunately, in the not-so-distant future, he won’t be here, and we’ll have to try out other teammates.”



<h2>What will be the next team of Kylian Mbappe?</h2>



Everything points to Kylian Mbappe’s new team being Real Madrid. In recent weeks, Luis Enrique had refused to speak directly about the issue, although he had already made it very clear that he was beginning to envision a future without the star.







Therefore, especially in Ligue 1 matches, he began to substitute him, considering that PSG practically have the league title secured. Faced with this scenario, the coach took the opportunity to look towards the future.

Now, for the first time, Luis Enrique has officially stated that Mbappe will not continue with Paris Saint-Germain. It’s worth noting that the French player will be a free agent starting from next summer, so the time has come for him to take on the biggest challenge of his career: seeking glory with Real Madrid.

There’s still a long way to go this season, but many are already thinking about the 2024-25 campaign. With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a> expected to join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> in the summer, Los Blancos’ possible home kit for next season has been leaked.



According to Footy Headlines, the new Real Madrid shirt will have a simple design, with their traditional white color along with the signature three stripes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/adidas">Adidas</a> in black on the shoulders.



Of course, this uniform will certainly bring back memories for the soccer community. The leaked white shirt combined with black stripes is reminiscent of Madrid’s shirt in the early 2000s.



The report also claims the new jersey has a subtle graphic design, featuring a Houndstooth pattern, which is popular in fashion. However, there are not different shades of white.

<h2>Kylian Mbappe expected to wear historic jersey number</h2>



Even though Mbappe has yet to confirm anything publicly, reports from Spain claim his Santiago Bernabeu move is all but done. According to Marca, the agreement between the player and the club has been signed weeks ago.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240220#BUS#106176"></div>


The 25-year-old has so far opted not to trigger his player option for next season at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a>, enabling him to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with any other club since January. Now it might be a matter of time before Madrid finally announce the striker.



In fact, it looks like the Spanish giants already know what number he will wear at La Casa Blanca. According to Mundo Deportivo, Mbappe will be given the No. 10 shirt currently worn by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-modric">Luka Modric</a>, as the Croatia international is expected to leave Madrid once his deal expires at the end of the season.

With only a few months left on his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> contract, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kylian-mbappe">Kylian Mbappe</a>‘s future is giving plenty to talk about in world soccer. The French superstar has reportedly decided to join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> as a free agent in the summer, which is why the Spanish club would already have a shirt number prepared for him.



Mundo Deportivo claims Mbappe would take the iconic number 10 jersey once he moves to the Santiago Bernabeu next season. The current No. 7 he wears at Paris Saint-Germain is taken by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vinicius-jr">Vinicius Junior</a> at La Casa Blanca, while the No. 10 would be up for grabs.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luka-modric">Luka Modric</a>, currently holder of the shirt, is expected to leave the Spanish capital at the end of the season. Having spent 12 years at the club, the Croatia international slipped down the pecking order this term as Carlo Ancelotti has given more playing time to the likes of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jude-bellingham">Jude Bellingham</a>, Aurelien Tchouameni, Toni Kroos, and Federico Valverde.



While the No. 7 has a special meaning both for Mbappe and Real Madrid as plenty of legends have worn it (including <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>), the Frenchman is no stranger to the No. 10, as he wore it with the national team uniform.

<h2>Terms of Mbappe’s reported agreement with Real Madrid</h2>



According to Marca, Mbappe has already agreed to and signed a pre-contract agreement with Real Madrid. The deal is reportedly for five seasons, with Mbappe expected to make between 15 and 20 million euros per season, though the number could be higher with add-ons.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240211#BUS#103953"></div>


The 25-year-old is understood to have accepted a pay cut compared to his current PSG salary (32 million euros per year). Mbappe had already flirted with leaving for Madrid on a free transfer in 2022, when he ultimately signed a new deal with the Ligue 1 side.



While the club announced Mbappe’s renewal until 2025, it turns out that his third year was optional. Mbappe has seemingly opted not to trigger the option to stay for the 2024-25, as the Marca report claims he asked the club not to bring him any offers as he’s made up his mind.
