Spain is in uproar: Kylian Mbappé will not be joining Real Madrid after all. FC Barcelona will snatch the deal.
The standoff between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona sees a new twist. Kylian Mbappé ultimately failed to reach an agreement on image rights. Real Madrid refused to yield on their share, typically 50%. While Mbappé’s camp demanded nearly 100%.
With no deal in sight, Mbappé is set to depart PSG. But his destination? Barcelona, according to spanish media AsMundoChiringuito. The Catalan club, leveraging new economic avenues, notably investors from the United States, successfully convinced the French forward. He will reclaim the iconic number 10, vacant this season at Barcelona. His brother Ethan is also expected to sign in the coming hours.
Even the Olympics… Barcelona Agrees to Everything
FC Barcelona has also agreed to let Kylian Mbappé participate in the Olympics, in case Thierry Henry chooses to select him.
Rumors of Mbappé’s potential departure had been circulating for months, but few could have predicted that the French prodigy would join the ranks of FC Barcelona.
Meanwhile, at PSG, the shock of this announcement is still reverberating. The club’s executives have refrained from any official comments for now, but it’s evident that Mbappé’s departure represents a significant blow for the Parisian team.
