Real Madrid free to make another run for Mbappé after disappointment from several years ago
Associated PressMADRID — Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé may get a second chance to make it work. Mbappé told Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday that he will leave the club at the end of the season, opening the way for another run by Madrid to sign one of the world’s best soccer players. Mbappé's arrival would give Madrid one of the top attacks in soccer, with Mbappé joining Jude Bellingham, Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo. Madrid had failed to secure Mbappé even before that debacle a few years ago, when the player visited the club’s facilities at age 14 but instead decided to join Monaco’s youth academy. Mbappé perhaps could also bring the club back to the “galacticos” era that it enjoyed in the 2000s with players such as Luís Figo, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham and former Brazil great Ronaldo.
