Three months before the conclusion of the season, Real Madrid is dominating La Liga and is on the verge of winning the championship. At the same time, they are also attempting to acquire a far more significant scalp, which has the potential to determine the long-term future of the team: Kylian Mbappe’s distinctive signature.
After the Frenchman Kylian Mbappe announced the decision to leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract ends in June, Eduardo Camavinga has hinted that Real Madrid may be able to acquire his services.
It has previously been reported that Mbappe has reached an agreement with Madrid to sign a five-year contract that would pay him €15 million a season in addition to a signing bonus of €150 million that will be distributed over the course of the term.
Despite the fact that he is departing as a free agent, Paris Saint-Germain will not be missing out on any money. It has been agreed that Mbappe will return around 80 million euros once he has decided to let his contract expire, and his departure is expected to save the French giants almost 200 million euros for the next season.
There has been no public confirmation of anything as of yet; nevertheless, Camavinga did make a less than subtle reference to the proceedings.
The fact that Real Madrid always has a player from France on their roster is evidence of the high number of talented French players in the country. According to a report from the Spanish news site Defensa Central, Camavinga made a joke this week about the possibility of having more of them here with us in the near future.
There are now three French players competing at the Bernabeu. These players are Camavinga, Aurelien Tchouameni, and Ferland Mendy. However, the route from France to the capital of Spain is a well-traveled one; as an example, the French royal Philippe, Duke of Anjou, who crowned Philip V of Spain in the year 1700, was involved in the ceremony. Despite the fact that this resulted in a horrific war that lasted for thirteen years and affected the majority of Europe…In addition, he has been deceased for close to three hundred years.

In the 21st century alone, the Bernabeu has produced luminaries like as Zinedine Zidane, Raphael Varane, and Karim Benzema. Christian Karembeu and Nicolas Anelka both became champions of the Champions League, while Claude Makelele is renowned for being the glue that kept the early Galacticos together.
Rene Petit was the first Frenchman to play for Madrid in 1914, while the majority of the rest of Europe was in the midst of a new war. This was before the club had even been bestowed its Real title by the Spanish monarch.
The first real French star to play for Real Madrid was Raymond Kopa, who was recruited by the club after meeting them in the very first European Cup final in 1956 while playing for Reims. Kopa was the first player to be signed by Real Madrid. Even though he was only at the club for a total of three years, his legacy in football continues to shine brilliantly. In fact, the Kopa Trophy, which was established in 2018 to honor the best young player in the globe, was named after him.
Camavinga came in second place in 2022, whereas Mbappe was the winner of the accolade in its inaugural year of competition.
