Madrid Mayor Not to Keen On Kylian Mbappé’s Joining Real Madrid
José Luis Martinez Almeida, the mayor of Madrid, believes that Real Madrid does not need Kylian Mbappé.
Tensions are rising in Madrid. The mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martinez Almeida, has clearly expressed his opinion that the Madridistas do not need Kylian Mbappé to win.
« Mbappé? We don’t need him to win here in Madrid, » he declared in an interview with El Chiringuito. But the mayor is a big… Atletico Madrid fan, the rival club in Madrid.
Still, Mbappé’s potential arrival at Real Madrid seems to divide the fans after three years of an endless saga.
After the standoff to leave PSG in 2021, Kylian Mbappé eventually extended his contract with PSG in May 2022. Since then, he has refused to activate his optional year in June 2023. Thus, he will leave for Real Madrid as a free agent in June. The reception is expected to be mixed.
