As long expected, star striker Kylian Mbappé will join Spanish titan Real Madrid next season after his star-making turn with French club Paris Saint-Germain, the La Liga club announced Monday.
Mbappé, 25, helped lead PSG to the Ligue 1 title in six of his seven seasons with the club and was PSG’s leading goal scorer in each of the past six seasons, including the one that recently concluded (his 256 career goals is a club record). But ultimate success in the Champions League proved elusive, with PSG never winning the European club championship even though Mbappé played alongside fellow icons Edinson Cavani, Lionel Messi and Neymar.
