The presence of Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe in Barcelona on Tuesday sparked widespread speculation, especially with his ties to a potential transfer to Real Madrid. According to Spanish channel "GOL," several FC Barcelona fans, wearing the team's jersey, took commemorative photos with the French star upon his arrival in the city.
The channel, which shared a video of Mbappe at Barcelona Airport, stated that the French superstar "was on a short vacation in Barcelona, where he spent a few days in the city." In the footage, Mbappe was asked about the news of his potential move to Real Madrid, but he did not respond and proceeded into the airport.
In recent days, Mbappe has dominated headlines in global sports media after various reports revealed that the French forward informed Paris Saint-Germain officials of his intention to leave the club once his contract expires next July. Spanish newspaper "Marca" reported that Mbappe has already signed contracts to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, set to become part of the royal team in July.
