Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has revealed how the arrival of Kylian Mbappe will help the club progress next season.
Despite housing some of the biggest names in the world of football, Real Madrid are set to announce the arrival of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain.
According to multiple reports, Mbappe has signed a contract to join Madrid on a free transfer when his Paris St-Germain deal expires on June 30 .
Mbappe, 25, will move to Spain when the La Liga transfer window opens on July 1 .
Madrid are expected to announce the deal next week and could formally present the forward at the Bernabeu before Euro 2024.
Mbappe will be a marquee addition in the tradition of past Galacticos to wear the famous white shirt like Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo.
Speaking about the imminent arrival of Mbappe, Bellingham who starred during Madrid’s Champions League final victory over Dortmund noted that the Frenchman will be a great addition.

According to Bellingham, Mbappe will secure the nine spot and ensure Madrid are more clinical in front of goal.
“It would be amazing (to have) a player like him,” Bellingham said on Saturday.
“It’s the only little thing we’re missing in terms of that clinical (No.) nine, and if (Mbappe) was to come and give us that, we’d be in a really, really great place. He’d take us to another level,” Bellingham said.
Brazil young forward Endrick is also expected to join Madrid after this summer’s Copa America.
Their addition means Madrid would arguably boast the richest array of attacking options in club football, with Vinicius Junior already one of the finest forwards in the world.
