Kylian Mbappé won’t be drawn on whether he’ll be supporting Real Madrid in Champions League final: ‘I’ll just watch like you’

Soccer superstar Kylian Mbappé, who is expected to imminently join Real Madrid, tells CNN Sport he’s looking forward to the challenge of playing in a new country.

He’s a World Cup winner, who has won multiple titles with French club Paris Saint-Germain over the last seven years. Now, Kylian Mbappé, who is widely expected to imminently join Real Madrid, says he’s looking forward to the challenge of playing in a new country. “I want to be happy,” Mbappé told CNN Sport’s Amanda Davies after being crowned Best Men’s Player at the inaugural Globe Soccer Awards Europe Edition in Sardinia, Italy, on Tuesday. “I will leave my country for the first time,” added Mbappé. “It’s going to be an amazing experience and I can’t wait to be in my new club. I want to win trophies … When you speak about football, [it’s about] winning trophies, being with new teammates. “Now, I have my contract with PSG … Everybody knows that it’s soon finishing and we’re going to see what happens.” It was earlier this month that confirmation came that the 25-year-old, who is the second most expensive soccer player in history, wouldn’t be extending his stay with French giant PSG. The first time Real came calling for Mbappé was when the forward was just 13 years old. In his comic book, “Je m’appelle Kylian (I’m called Kylian),” Mbappé describes his dreams of one day playing in the famed white shirt of Los Blancos.
