The majority of the world is currently celebrating October’s biggest festival, Halloween. As the festive fever took the soccer world by storm, revered stars came up with unique ideas for their attires of the day. The spotlight interestingly shifted towards a Real Madrid star, who unexpectedly sent the soccer fraternity into a frenzy with his ‘Ninja Turtle’ Halloween costume.
While everyone in the fanbase made the connection, when will the French star arrive, or will he? This summer, Kylian Mbappe was embroiled in a transfer saga with Los Blancos as he was keen to play at Santiago Bernabeu. Sadly, that didn’t happen after Madrid’s 100% no.

Costumes are perhaps one of the best parts of Halloween. Likewise, soccer stars around the world also celebrate the night of October 31st in high spirits by dressing up in the most unique ways possible. Interestingly, Real Madrid star Lucas Vazquez took center stage in his Halloween costume. Notably, the wingback and his wife, along with their four little ones, dressed up as ninja turtles.
The glimpses of the costume were shared by?Vazquez on Instagram alongside the caption, “Las Tortugas Ninja,” or as translated, “The Ninja Turtles.” Apparently, his costume choice has sent his team’s fanbase into shock, given that ninja turtle is coincidentally the nickname of Kylian Mbappe, who was linked with them the whole summer.
The majority of fans spammed the comment section with a lot of Mbappe GIFs. One wrote, “He just confirmed the signing of Mbappe and he’s pissed off.” Meanwhile, another wrote, “MBAPPE REFERENCE.” While others filled the comments with the name of Mbappe, one netizen remarked, “This might be a sign.” As translated from Spanish, one fan wrote, “The Spanish press: It’s a wink to Mbappe.” Another wrote, “Kylian Mbappe cosplay.”

Kylian Mbappe got rejected by Real Madrid
During the early part of the summer, Mbappe chose not to extend his contract with PSG. This kept the Parisian team in a difficult position. While PSG tried to sell the player, their high demands deterred European clubs, including Madrid. The La Liga side would have had to pay $432 million for the striker this summer.

However, since the 24-year-old has just one year left on his contract, the La Liga club decided it was smarter to secure the World Cup winner without spending any money. Getting players on a free transfer is a much more cost-effective option than splurging on high transfer fees. Hence, Los Blancos ended up rejecting him and backing out of the deal in the last transfer window. Nevertheless, let’s see if he finally moves to the Spanish capital in the future. Any thoughts?
