Kylian Mbappe is certainly headed to Real Madrid after leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer according to French President Emmanuel Macron

French President Emmanuel Macron recently let slip that Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe will join Real Madrid this summer when he leaves France after comments he made about the striker’s involvement in the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Macron has been vocal about his hope for Mbappe to grace the 2024 Olympics in Paris as one of the overaged players for France’s U23 team and in a recent speech, he accidentally revealed the PSG star’s next career move.

Mbappe recently announced that he would be leaving PSG when his contract expires this summer, but did not definitively state where he would be playing his football next season, only hinting that he would be leaving the shores of France when he moves to his next club.
