The 25-year-old forward is poised to depart from his current club in Paris this summer, opting not to extend his contract at Parc des Princes. His likely next stop is in the Spanish capital, as Real Madrid prepares to welcome him as their newest star player at the Santiago Bernabeu before the summer break.
However, Mbappe has recently emphasized his affection for Milan, sparking fresh speculation about his immediate plans. He reaffirmed his strong connection to the Rossoneri dating back to his childhood, influenced by family members who were passionate Milan supporters. His admiration for the seven-time Champions League winners has remained steadfast over the years.
In an interview with Sky Sport Italia, Mbappe confessed to closely following Milan’s progress during the 2023-24 season, particularly noting their second-place finish in Serie A with the help of USMNT star Christian Pulisic. “When I was a kid, I was a fan of Milan, and I always said that if one day I come to Italy, I am going to play at Milan,” he said. “So we never know what can happen, but I always watch the Italian league – every game of Milan. Since I was a young kid, I was with a family close to mine, they are big Milan fans, and I was always there as a kid in their house to watch Milan’s games. So now I keep watching the games, but we never know what can happen.”
While a move to Real Madrid this summer remains probable, Mbappe’s admiration for Milan hints at the possibility of a future transfer to Italy. “I was in Paris, I’m going to have a new club now, and I’m really happy with what I have, but you never know what can happen,” Mbappe commented.
“The only thing I can say is that I watch Serie A, it’s a really good league and we see that next year, they’re going to have many teams in the Champions League. They improve a lot, and I wish them good luck.”
Despite Mbappe’s surprising revelation, reports strongly indicate that his immediate future lies with Real Madrid. The 2018 World Cup winner is said to have agreed to join the Spanish giants on a free transfer, where he will command one of the highest salaries in the squad and receive a substantial signing bonus.
