Mashable: Kylian Mbappe appears close to joining Real Madrid, sparking excitement among fans.

Anticipation mounts in Madrid as PSG forward Kylian Mbappe nears a possible transfer to Real Madrid. The 25-year-old French captain has reportedly expressed his intention to leave PSG at the end of his contract, with Real Madrid emerging as the frontrunners for his signature.

Despite Madrid's offer allegedly being lower than previous attempts to secure Mbappe's services, Spanish media outlets suggest that the star player has set his sights on donning the famous white jersey. Reports indicate that Mbappe has already informed club bosses of his desire to join Real Madrid, fueling anticipation among fans and local media.

Should the transfer materialize, Mbappe could find himself alongside talented players like Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham in the Madrid lineup. The prospect of Mbappe leading the attack has garnered enthusiastic responses from supporters, with many hailing him as one of the best players in the world.

While some fans still recall Mbappe's previous decision to join PSG over Madrid, others remain optimistic about his potential impact on the team. Despite any lingering bitterness, many believe that Mbappe's arrival could significantly bolster Madrid's chances of success, especially in the Champions League.

As speculation swirls around Mbappe's future, attention has turned to the potential shirt number he might wear at Madrid. Reports suggest that while he may not inherit Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic No. 7 jersey, the coveted No. 10 shirt could become available, given Luka Modric's impending departure.

Whether Mbappe places importance on his squad number or not remains to be seen. Nonetheless, fans eagerly await official confirmation of his transfer as the footballing world anticipates Mbappe's next move.

Meanwhile, Mbappe remains focused on his current commitments with PSG, aiming to secure further success in Ligue 1 and potentially clinch the elusive Champions League title before his anticipated departure.
