Impact on Real Madrid and PSG
Madrid won a La Liga and Champions League double last season. Kylian Mbappe will get the chance to play with Croatian midfielder Luka Modric, who signed a one-year extension with the club.
Their goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, spent most of last season on the sidelines with an ACL tear. Their best defenders, Eder Militao and David Alaba, also face the same issue. The club opted not to sign a top center-forward in the wake of Karim Benzemaās exit.
Theyāve filled that void in attack by signing Mbappe on a free transfer from PSG. And donāt forget the current Brazilian star, Endrick Felipe, 18, who joined Real Madrid as he turned eighteen in July 2024.
For PSG, losing MbappƩ on a free transfer is a large blow. His departure will leave a notable gap in their attacking lineup. Additionally, PSG will miss out on a potentially substantial transfer fee that they could have earned if he had been sold while under contract.
On the other hand, AS Monaco stands to gain from this transfer, even though MbappƩ left them several years ago. Monaco included a sell-on clause when they sold him to PSG, entitling them to a percentage of any future transfer fee.
MbappĆ©ās free transfer will shake up the dynamics for all three clubs, Real Madrid will be happy as their team becomes stronger than before and PSG will face immediate challenges in replacing him. while Monaco could benefit financially and reputationally in the long run.
