French football legend Marcel Desailly believes that Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid marked the realization of a long-held ambition, although Paris Saint-Germain’s achievements following his departure may remain a source of reflection for the French star.
Speaking about Mbappé’s career trajectory, Desailly emphasized that joining Real Madrid represented a major milestone for the forward, who had openly expressed his desire to wear the club’s famous white shirt for years.
According to the former France captain, Mbappé has achieved one of the most important goals of his professional career by securing a move to the Spanish giants. However, he noted that PSG’s continued success after the player’s exit could create mixed emotions, given the strong bond Mbappé developed with the Parisian club during his time there.
Desailly stressed that Mbappé remains one of the world’s elite footballers and that his decision to join Real Madrid was a natural step for a player determined to compete for the biggest trophies and individual honors in the game.
