Mbappé snubbed Real Madrid – What next for the La Liga Champions?

Real Madrid have been left red-faced after the latest turn of events. Against all odds, Kylian Mbappe opted to stay at PSG, despite a reported verbal agreement to join the La Liga champions. For sites that offer soccer betting in Spain, odds were already locked on for the Frenchman to complete a sensational move. However, it all followed a different script.

At the dying minute, Mbappe made a U-turn on his childhood dream and decided to stick around in Paris. The 23-year-old signed a three-year deal that will keep him at the club until 2025.
