Mbappe: 3 German Clubs Tried to Sign Me
Sunday 07-09-2025
French star Kylian Mbappe confirmed that several clubs from the Bundesliga sought to sign him earlier in his career, before joining Real Madrid last summer on a free transfer.

Mbappe said in an interview with the French program Telefoot: "Many German clubs reached out to me, Bayern Munich tried to sign me when I was younger and able to leave Monaco."

He added: "Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig expressed their interest in me, and these are the three clubs I only remember; there may have been other clubs, but I don't recall. Everyone is asking now, but the time has passed."

The French star has taken a decisive step this season to become the new captain of the Real Madrid project under coach Xabi Alonso.
