Real Madrid president Florentino Perez said Kylian Mbappe will succeed at the club during an interview with AS published June 4. ” Mbappe joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024. He has scored 86 goals in 103 appearances and won the European Golden Boot in his first season.

Perez confirmed that Mbappe, Vinicius and Jude Bellingham will remain at the club. ” Real Madrid won La Liga and the Champions League under Carlo Ancelotti before Mbappe arrived. FC Barcelona has won five of six major Spanish trophies in the past two seasons under Hansi Flick.

Real Madrid has not won major silverware in the past two seasons. Perez announced Jose Mourinho as Real Madrid’s manager on Wednesday evening. ” The previous two managers were Alvaro Arbeloa and Xabi Alonso.

Perez is running for re-election on June 7 against Enrique Riquelme. Perez said he will reveal Real Madrid’s first big transfer later on Thursday. Ibrahima Konate, the soon-to-be ex-Liverpool centre back, is joining the club.

Denzel Dumfries has a €20 million ($23 million) release clause at Inter Milan. Perez is expected to trigger that clause.
