After Paris Saint-Germain's disappointing Champions League exit at the hands of Borussia Dortmund, Kylian Mbappé, the 25-year-old forward, has once again stirred the transfer rumor mill. Following the league fixture, Mbappé took to social media to announce his departure from PSG, igniting speculation about his next destination.
However, when probed about potential discussions with Premier League clubs, Mbappé vehemently refuted any such claims, affirming his commitment to his long-standing dream of playing for Real Madrid.
"No, Real Madrid," asserted Mbappé, shutting down any notions of considering offers from English clubs.
This stance from Mbappé is not a recent development. Despite purported approaches from Premier League sides over the past two years, the Frenchman has consistently prioritized a move to the Spanish capital.
In June 2022, suprisely Mbappé extended his contract with PSG FC in the deadline of the transfer window, effectively ending hope of a potential move to Real Madrid FC.

Notably, Mbappé's decision to rebuff Premier League suitors in the past was influenced by his desire to maintain a respectful relationship with Real Madrid's president, Florentino Pérez. After a failed deal in 2022, Mbappé chose to uphold his commitment to eventually don the famous white jersey of Los Blancos.
Even substantial financial offers, such as the reported €200 million per year salary proposal from a Saudi club last summer, failed to sway Mbappé from his ultimate goal. For him, it's always been about Real Madrid and realizing his childhood dream of playing for the Spanish giants.
As the transfer window approaches, speculation surrounding Mbappé's future will undoubtedly intensify. However, amidst the swirling rumors, one thing remains clear: Kylian Mbappé's sights are firmly set on the iconic Santiago Bernabéu stadium, where he hopes to soon become a reality.
