The announcement of Kylian Mbappé’s departure from PSG on Thursday February 15 provoked a lot of reactions in Spain. The shock was even stronger in Madrid, where Real fans have been following the soap opera surrounding the star striker of the France team for years. On several occasions, the French player’s arrival at the club in the Spanish capital seemed imminent, before failing. These successive twists and turns have disappointed, annoyed and upset a good number of Merengue fans. Their reactions, Thursday at the franceinfo microphone, were as enthusiastic as they were reserved.

Some of the supporters of the most successful club in the world, with 14 Champions Leagues under their belt, find it hard to believe it. José, whose passion for Real has been for 70 years, prefers to wait for the definitive signing of Kylian Mbappé. “I would like to because he is the best player in the world but he has to decide now. It has been said for many years that he will come this summer, then next summer… As long as he won’t be there, I won’t believe it”he assures.

“He made fun of Real”

While many supporters are skeptical, others are more optimistic. This is the case of Andrés, who seems to have completely forgotten the repeated false rumors. “Of course I want him to come! All the Madrilenians are delighted and we take him for granted. If he doesn’t come, it will be a mess. He is currently the best player in the world, so he will bring a lot “he judges.

Despite everything, not all Real supporters are delighted. Some, like Maria, still hold a grudge against the French player. “He’s said it so many times that I really have my doubts. He’s a good player but, honestly, Real have such a team at the moment that if he comes, it’s good, and if not, too badshe judges. I’m very angry with him because he made fun of Real Madrid. But if he comes, maybe I will forgive him.” If Kylian Mbappé finally arrives at Real Madrid, he will have to earn the forgiveness of many supporters who will have difficulty forgetting this endless soap opera.
