According to reports, Manchester City have responded to the news of Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe signing for Real Madrid. Mbappe’s contract with PSG ends this season, and it has been widely speculated that he will depart on a free transfer in the summer.

Mbappe is expected to join Real Madrid, with reports indicating that money is not a driving factor for him as he is willing to take a pay cut for the move. While Mbappe has been linked with various Premier League clubs, Manchester City was rumored to be interested in signing him. However, with Real Madrid now appearing to be his most likely destination, City has accepted that they will miss out on the World Cup winner.

In an interview for RMC Sport, journalist Julen Laurens stated that City is relieved that Mbappe will be joining Real Madrid, as this decision likely closes the door to Erling Haaland leaving this summer. Mbappe could potentially face Real Madrid in the Champions League knockout stages, as both his current and future teams have qualified for the quarter-finals.

Real Madrid player Federico Valverde praised Mbappe as a “masterful player” and acknowledged the challenge of facing him. Valverde also had positive words for his teammate Vinicius Junior, despite rumors of him annoying his fellow Real Madrid players. Valverde expressed admiration for Vinicius’s talent and acknowledged his son’s idolization of the young player.

Overall, both Mbappe’s impending move to Real Madrid and the talent of players like Vinicius Junior are topics of discussion in the football world, with excitement building for potential matchups in the future.
