Zinedine Zidane Predicts Greatness for Kylian Mbappe, Insists He Will Surpass All at Real Madrid

• Zinedine Zidane has backed Kylian Mbappe to make the world his oyster at Real Madrid following his long-awaited move to the Spanish capital
• Mbappe, who is PSG's all-time top scorer, joined the White Angels on Monday, June 3, ending one of the longest-running transfer sagas in football
• He is expected to form a lethal partnership with Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo de Goes and Jude Bellingham as Madrid eyes prolonged dominance

Legendary French midfielder, Zinedine Zidane, has made a bold prediction about Kylian Mbappe following the latter's sensational free transfer to Real Madrid.

Mbappe ended his seven-trophy-laden seasons at Paris Saint-Germain this summer, opting against a contract extension with the French giants.

Instead, two days after winning a record-extending 15th UEFA Champions League, Los Blancos announced the 25-year-old as their latest Galactico.

According to Sky Sports, Kylian has signed a five-year contract at the Santiago Bernabeu worth €15 million (£12.8 mil) a year after tax.

Further details suggest that Real will disburse a signing bonus exceeding £85 million to Mbappe over the term of his contract.

On the field, the 2018 World Cup winner is slated to join forces with elite talents such as Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, forming what could potentially become a footballing dynasty in the Spanish capital.

Nonetheless, the arrival of the 2018 World Cup winner has met with criticism from certain sections of Madrid's fanbase.

Madrid Universal notes that a couple of the club's former players have expressed apprehensions about the Frenchman's assimilation under Carlo Ancelotti and within the team.
