Kylian Mbappe's potential transfer to Real Madrid has fired the imagination of the club's fans, and social media is now awash with the hashtag #FreeMbappé as 'Madridistas' try to convince the Frenchman to move to the Spanish capital.
"Zidane gets along well with Mbappe and is also French - he could do something", declared Florentino Perez after presenting Zinedine Zidane as the new Real Madrid manager. They are words that will have provoked great excitement in the Spanish capital, where fans dream of bringing Kylian Mbappe to the Bernabeu.
Despite the difficulty of the operation, Real Madrid fans have taken to social media to bring the mounting excitement to fever pitch, with some creating images of Mbappe wearing the famous white Madrid shirt with the hashtag #FreeMbappè in the description. The movement has quickly become a trending topic in Spain.
It's also reported that those around Mbappe believe the youngster will end up at Real Madrid sooner or later, be it this summer or in a few summers' time. This news is only feeding the frenzy around the striker's potential move.
However, a family member of Mbappe has confirmed in the newspaper 'Le Journal de Dimanche' that the young PSG forward has doubts about his own young age. "If I go to Madrid at this age, what will I do when I'm 23?" he is believed to have said.
