  • Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida has hilariously claimed he knows the next destination of PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé
  • The Mayor of Madrid revealed the three-time French Ligue 1 Player of the Season will be joining Atletico Madrid rather than the rumoured Real Madrid
  • Mbappé has enjoyed a stellar campaign with PSG, but with his contract running out at the end of the season, his future remains uncertain despite attempts made by employers to tie him down

Mayor of Madrid, Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida has jokingly disclosed the destination of Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé.

According to Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida, the highly sought-after Frenchman will be heading to Atletico Madrid when his contract with his current employers expires next month.

The 23-year-old Frenchman has enjoyed an extraordinary campaign. He has been involved in 70 goals this season for club and country and it comes as no surprise he is courting the interest of most European heavyweight clubs.

The recently named Ligue 1 player of the year has refused to extend his stay with PSG as transfer rumours continue to link him to Real Madrid.

But in a hilarious move, the Mayor of Madrid Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida argues that although multiple media reports link Mbappe to Real Madrid, he reckons the Frenchman will head to the other side of the city.

"Mbappe? He told me he's coming to Atletico Madrid," mayor of Madrid, Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida, has told Gol as quoted by Tribuna.

Mbappe uploaded a picture on his Instagram account that is understood to have been taken from his barber’s place in Madrid.

The French superstar has been subject to unending transfer rumours. Real Madrid are hoping to sign him on a free transfer. His current contract with PSG runs out next month.
