Mbappe leaving PSG: Over, thank god

Kylian Mbappe's transfer to Real Madrid is finally happening after a decade of anticipation, ending the "dullest soap opera" in football.

For years, the question of whether Kylian Mbappe would join Real Madrid has been a constant topic of speculation. The Athletic was not even around when the rumors began, and the world was a much different place. Twitter was still a fun place to be, Taylor Swift hadn't even heard of American football, and the idea of a global pandemic was something only seen in movies.

The saga of Mbappe's potential transfer to Real Madrid has been filled with endless rumors, lies, and posturing. However, it seems that the speculation may finally be coming to an end. After deciding not to extend his contract with PSG, it appears that Mbappe will be making the move to the Bernabeu. The football world can finally focus on actual football matches rather than endless transfer rumors.

The intense coverage of Mbappe's potential move to Real Madrid has reached a fever pitch in Spain. Whether Real Madrid is winning or losing, the focus has been on Mbappe. Even other figures in the football world have been asked for their opinions on the potential transfer. The constant speculation has been likened to the coverage of a royal family member's death in the UK.

Front pages in Spain have been dominated by headlines about Mbappe's decision, with constant speculation and rumors about his future. Even when Mbappe chose to extend his contract with PSG, it was seen as a betrayal by some in Madrid. The journalists have also been quick to criticize Mbappe's decision, calling it the biggest mistake of his career.

Despite the constant speculation, it has always seemed inevitable that Mbappe would end up at Real Madrid. Even when he denied rumors of a move last summer, it was always a matter of when, not if. Now, with the news of his departure from PSG, the focus has shifted to where he will end up next.

While the odds may favor a move to Madrid, there is still speculation about other potential destinations. However, for now, it seems that the long-running saga of Mbappe to Real Madrid may finally be coming to an end. When we see Mbappe finally holding up that famous all-white kit, it will be a relief for all involved. Unless, of course, it's Leeds United on a Bosman from PSG in 2034.
