Kylian Mbappé likely to break Cristiano Ronaldo’s record hours after Real Madrid signing

Real Madrid are set to make a monumental announcement this Monday afternoon: the signing of Kylian Mbappé. The French superstar has confirmed the move to none other than France’s President, Emmanuel Macron, solidifying what has been one of the most anticipated transfers in recent football history.

Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid is more than just a significant addition to the club’s roster. The 25-year-old forward, already a World Cup winner and multiple Ligue 1 champion, brings immense talent and global appeal to Los Blancos. However, even before he dons the famous white jersey and steps onto the pitch at Santiago Bernabéu, Mbappé is on the verge of making history.

The record in question pertains to social media, specifically the most liked official posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) concerning football signings. Currently, the top three posts are:

1. Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United from Juventus: 1.8 million likes.
2. Arda Güler’s signing by Real Madrid: 944,000 likes.
3. Lionel Messi’s move to Paris Saint-Germain: 850,000 likes.

Fans and analysts alike are eagerly awaiting the official announcement of Mbappé’s signing by Real Madrid. Given his immense popularity and the frenzy surrounding his transfer, it is anticipated that the announcement post could surpass a million likes within the first hour, potentially breaking Ronaldo’s record for the most liked football signing post of all time.

This potential record-breaking moment underscores the incredible draw that Mbappé has on a global scale. As a player who idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo, surpassing Ronaldo’s social media milestone would be a symbolic passing of the torch in the digital age of football. It highlights not only the passion of football fans but also the changing dynamics of how sports icons influence and engage with their audience worldwide.

Whether Mbappé’s signing post will indeed break Ronaldo’s record remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at Real Madrid is set to be a defining moment in the club’s illustrious history.
