Kylian made a choice.

For weeks now, newspapers, TV shows and social media have been flooded with rumors about Kylian Mbappé's future. The most shocking news came last week, when it was learned that he had a meeting with Paris Saint-Germain owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi, in which he confirmed that he will not activate the automatic extension clause of his contract nor accept the renewal offer, but will leave as a free agent once the current season ends.

With this scenario, now the speculation is on what will be his next club. Although Premier League teams such as Arsenal and Liverpool were mentioned as possible destinations, everything seems to indicate that his future will be in Spain. This Monday, Marca newspaper assured that there is already a signed agreement between 'Kiki' and Real Madrid, which will become a reality in July 1.

This news excited the fans of La Casa Blanca, who for years have wanted to see the French striker wearing the white shirt at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. However, this week Mbappé made a completely unexpected decision: he chose Barcelona.

But it's not about the club, it's about the city. PSG coach Luis Enrique gave the squad players two days off after last Saturday's 2-0 win over Nantes and Kylian decided to travel with Achraf Hakimi to Catalonia to rest and have fun. According to reports they attended some parties and enjoyed Catalan food, in particular at the Botafumeiro restaurant. Before their return to France, they were surprised by the press and fans, who were waiting for them at the airport. But Mbappé refused to answer questions about his possible arrival at Real Madrid.
