You are right that the news and other things about Mbappe going to Real Madrid have been circulating quite a lot and show clearly that it is almost certain that this player will go to Real Madrid at that time. So when Fabrizio Romano said about Mbappe who had finished signing all the necessary documents and was just waiting to be announced. Actually, we are no longer too surprised by this. Because we can all guess where this will all end up from.
Regarding the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid next season, it looks like it will be a little different from usual. Because the situation is very different between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the moment. Barcelona must adapt to a new coach in the coming season. And this team may even find it difficult to bring in new players who the team will really need. The situation is completely different from Real Madrid, who have just won the UCL title and have got their dream player, namely Mbappe. And this will make it really difficult for Barcelona to compete with Real Madrid. And it might be quite surprising if Barcelona is able to compete closely with Real Madrid next season with these different conditions.
Honestly, it was said that Mbappe was ready to go to Real Madrid before the last contract extension, but he was afraid to do it because there was 2022 world cup, so he extended his contract unwillingly for fear of anything at Qatar, which we know that a Qatari wealthy person owns PSG so he was right about his fears. Doesn't mean that anything would have happened, it just means that it was a scary thought for him, call it panic or whatever you want, in the end he didn't really want to.
This is now ended, and he can go to Real Madrid easily, he already bought a house like a month or so ago there which means that we already knew that he would leave, this isn't really a news anymore, it's just becoming official now thanks to the time being done on his contract at PSG.
