The news of Kylian Mbappe leaving PSG at the end of the season rocked the entire soccer community, including Getafe. The whole social media was sent into a frenzy yesterday, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Mbappe had made his long-awaited decision on his future and would be leaving the French club this season.
The news has caused several club fans to be more than excited about the prospect of their clubs getting their hands on arguably the best player on the planet right now. However, fans trolled Getafe when the Spanish club posted a doctored photo of Kylian Mbappe wearing their shirt in an apparent light-hearted gesture on social media.
Getafe uploads cryptic post on Kylian Mbappe
Sad news for PSG fans: Kylian Mbappe will stop being the face of the PSG project after it was reported yesterday that he’d informed the club of his decision not to stay in the French capital beyond this season. Although it was always expected, it still came as a shock to the entire soccer community.
While his most likely destination is Real Madrid, other clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal have been linked with a move for the World Cup winner. However, it was Getafe that made the rounds yesterday when they posted a cryptic picture of the player on their Twitter, much to an outpouring from fans, who quickly rushed to comment under the picture.
The Spanish club posted a doctored picture of Kylian Mbappe donning the iconic blue jersey, which has been made famous by Mason Greenwood since joining the Spanish club on a season-long loan from Manchester United after his return to football in almost two years.
Fans troll Getafe for dreaming of signing Mbappe
Getafe may have posted a picture of Kylian Mbappe in their jersey, but their chances of actually signing the PSG man are far from being realistic. Firstly, they do not have the financial prowess to pull off a move like that, considering how Mbappe is currently one of the highest-paid players in the entire world.
Another thing is the player’s interest. Getafe is a mid-table club in Spain, so leaving guaranteed title winners in France for a mid-table Spanish club sounds very absurd, so much so that even fans trolled Getafe for even dreaming of it.
“Why would he play with Greenwood,” one fan jokingly asked. “Think he’d rather retire than go to your dusted club,” another fan added.
While there’s nothing wrong with dreaming of having the best player in your team, Mbappe to Getafe is far-fetched and almost impossible.
