Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League elimination at the hands of Manchester United has left the club shell-shocked, none more so than Kylian Mbappe, and a relative of the French forward has reaffirmed their belief that he will play for Real Madrid.
Rumours linking Los Blancos with moves for both Neymar and Mbappe have intensified since Zinedine Zidane returned as the club’s head coach, whilst Florentino Perez made a rather tongue-in-cheek comment about wanting to sign them both.
Whilst this was obviously nothing more than mischievous horseplay from the president, PSG are determined to retain both of their star forwards at any cost.
Yet, according to a relative, this matter may well be taken out of the Parisian’s hands eventually, as was made clear in a 2017 interview they gave to Le Journal du Dimanche.
“If I go there [Madrid] at 18, what will I do at 23?” he stated.
“I see Mbappe playing for Real Madrid.”
