Kylian Mbappé is a French professional footballer widely regarded as one of the most promising talents in the world. Born on December 20, 1998, in Paris, France, Mbappé plays as a forward for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and the French national team. His playing style is characterized by his incredible speed, dribbling ability, and clinical finishing.
Mbappé’s rise to prominence began at a young age when he joined the youth academy of AS Monaco. He made his professional debut for Monaco in December 2015 at the age of 16, becoming the youngest-ever first-team player for the club. He quickly established himself as a key player, helping Monaco win the Ligue 1 title in the 2016-2017 season.
In 2017, Mbappé joined Paris Saint-Germain on loan from Monaco, with PSG having an option to buy him permanently. The move was eventually made permanent in 2018 for a transfer fee reported to be one of the highest in football history. Since then, Mbappé has continued to excel at PSG, winning multiple domestic trophies and establishing himself as one of the top players in the world.
Internationally, Mbappé has represented France at various youth levels before making his senior debut in 2017. He played a crucial role in France’s 2018 FIFA World Cup triumph, scoring four goals in the tournament, including one in the final against Croatia. His performances earned him the FIFA World Cup Best Young Player Award.
Mbappé’s talent, along with his achievements at such a young age, has drawn comparisons to legendary players like Thierry Henry and Pelé. He’s seen as one of the future stars of world football and has already amassed an impressive list of accomplishments despite his young age.
Kylian Mbappé announced recently that he will be leaving Paris Saint- Germain at the end of the season as his contract expires. It is believed that talks are far advanced between the Player and Real Madrid and that his likely destination is nowhere other than the Santiago Bernabeau. Real Madrid already have a powerful squad in the likes of Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo Silver de Goes. The trio together have amassed an incredible forty-five (45) goals and twenty- eight (28) assists in all competitions this season.
The question is; will Kylian Mbappé succeed at the Santiago Bernabeau?
Real Madrid have had an incredible pool of talents in recent years including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro and Karim Mostafa Benzema who both now play for Al Nasr and Al-Ittihad respectively in the Saudi Pro League. These players together in their days at the Santiago Bernabeau were very lethal in front of goal and tormented defenders of opposing teams, they achieved lots of glory and honour for the Los Blancos and shall forever remain amongst the club’s topmost legends.
Kylian Mbappé is likely to be giving the number Nine (9) shirted jersey since his favourite jersey number (7) is currently being worn by Vinicius jr. With his incredible dribbling abilities and thunder- lightening speed, it is no doubt that the French marksman will star for the Los Blancos and achieve laurels for the white angels just like his idol before him (Cristiano Ronaldo).
The world patiently awaits what this young brilliant talent of the game has to offer for the Los Blancos aside what he has already achieved in his previous career. All football enthusiasts and lovers of the game regardless of team affiliation would love to witness this walking work of art mount the field and do what he does best.
