  • Kylian Mbappe will leave PSG at the end of the season
  • He has been linked with a move to LaLiga side Real Madrid
  • Madrid legend Ronaldo believes it will be a great move

The potential transfer of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid has ignited excitement among all involved with the prestigious Spanish club.

Having been a coveted target for Los Blancos for some time now, Madrid narrowly missed securing Mbappe's services a couple of seasons ago.

Initially slated to join Real in 2022, Mbappe took the football landscape by surprise, opting to extend his tenure with Paris Saint-Germain at the time.

However, the 25-year-old forward could finally fulfil the long-awaited move to the Spanish capital this summer when his current deal with PSG runs out.

As reported by the BBC, Mbappe has informed PSG of his intention to depart at the end of the current campaign, marking the resolution of a significant standoff with the Ligue 1 champions last summer.

While PSG would have preferred to retain their prized asset, his departure appears inevitable as they shift focus towards rejuvenating their squad and deviating from the initial 'Galacticos' strategy.

Ronaldo voices his support for Mbappe-Madrid move

Amidst rising speculation surrounding Mbappe's future and his purported preference for a move to the Spanish capital, Real Madrid legend Ronaldo Nazario has voiced his support for the anticipated transfer.

With his wealth of experience and over 100 goals for the club, Ronaldo believes that joining Los Blancos would be a wise decision for Mbappe.

“We have to wait until it's official before talking about it in detail, but everyone is excited about Kylian Mbappe in Madrid. I think it's a very good choice for him if he joins Madrid," the Brazilian said as quoted by MadridXtra.

Curiously, Ronaldo, a recipient of the Ballon d'Or on two occasions, implied that the Frenchman's chances of clinching the prestigious individual award would be enhanced with the transfer.

"I think he will finally get the Ballon d'Or if he joins Real.”

Eto'o disagrees with Ronaldo, wants Mbappe stay

Still on Kylian Mbappe's uncertain future, African football icon Samuel Eto'o expressed his desire for the 2018 World Cup winner to remain with PSG rather than seek a move abroad, as reported by Sports Brief.

The ex-Barcelona striker hinted at his fondness for PSG, indicating his preference for Mbappe to prolong his tenure in Paris.

Since his arrival at Les Parisiens in 2017, Mbappe has accumulated numerous trophies and set multiple records, notably becoming the club's all-time leading goal scorer.
