Anyone associated with Real Madrid hopes the Spanish club can succeed in landing Kylian Mbappé next summer. The 24-year-old is playing on an expiring contract and can become a free agent on July 1, 2024.
However, it’s not only Madristas waiting to see how this saga plays out as companies based in Madrid are preparing for what they believe is the inevitable of the Frenchman’s arrival.
Lluis Torrents, the general director of Panini Spain, famous for its albums of collectible sticker images, has already anticipated the arrival of Mbappé at Real Madrid by preparing his sticker.
“Yes, it’s ready,” Torrents told the Spanish media ELDesmarque. “The truth is that myself, my team and my friends from LaLiga, we bet that he would come. I really think it will happen.”
Since the summer transfer window closed on Sept. 1, the chatter around the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner to Real Madrid has gone quiet. However, don’t expect this to last long, with rumors likely beginning to heat up as the January window approaches.
How will this saga end? It’s been a rollercoaster ride these, so it’s anyone’s guess.
