With a lot on his plate, it seems Kylian Mbappé needed a breather, and he took one. The 25-year-old recently won the French Cup, and the final also marked his last one with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). There have been various rumors about his next move, with Real Madrid in pole position to land the French talisman. Amid all of this, Mbappé was spotted with Shaquille O’Neal‘s millionaire son, Myles O’Neal.
The NBA legend’s 27-year-old son shared a photo with the PSG star in his Instagram stories. Prior to this, Myles had shared another IG story with DJ Diplo, who was in Monaco at Jimmy’z Monte-Carlo to witness the Monte Carlo GP. Seems like a few members of the PSG squad jetted off to Monaco to enjoy the weekend. So it is most likely that Myles met Mbappé there itself.
This came just a few days after Myles had the chance to perform at the Electric Daisy Festival in Las Vegas. The 27-year-old also had a fun little interaction with Shaquille O’Neal in the comments section, suggesting something major coming up by the “O’Neal Boyz”.
As stated above, Mbappé recently won the Coupe de France with PSG, who beat Lyon 2-1 in the final last night. Speaking of the feeling of the win, knowing that this is his last with the club, the 25-year-old mentioned the feeling of extra weight of things because of the realization that it is really ending. “When I said goodbye to the Parc des Princes, there were still some games left, so you are still focused on what awaits you. Now, I have nothing left with PSG. But I’m very happy to have been able to finish with a trophy,” he told beIN Sports.
Notably, Mbappé had himself announced the news of leaving PSG in an IG video post a few days ago. Speaking to the fans through the video, he said, “… I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris-Saint-Germain… I will play my last game at the Parc des Princes on Sunday… It’s hard, and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce… I hope we will finish this with a last trophy.”

The French international also thanked all his teammates, coaches, and staff members at the club through the video. As for a more recent update, there have been strong rumors of Kylian Mbappé joining Real Madrid.
Apart from this, the fans speculated that Mbappé saying “I will have other things and I know they will also be fantastic,” is his way of teasing his move to Madrid. As per some recent reports, speculations are that all parties involved in the transfer have completed the required paperwork and formalities.
It is being said that it is Real Madrid’s decision to not make the announcements official because of the upcoming UEFA Champions League final. Apparently, the club wants the players to stay focused and does not want any distractions at this point. Now, the fans must wait for the UEFA Champions League final to conclude in order to discover the authenticity of these reports.
