Former Real Madrid star and sporting director Jorge Valdano is convinced Kylian Mbappe would snub Los Blancos to remain at PSG.
Over recent years, Mbappe has grown to be one of the most talented players on the planet.
For a player who is only 22, the Frenchman seems to have achieved a lot already.
Mbappe added another brilliant individual record to his name yesterday by becoming only the third player to score a hat-trick against Barcelona in the Champions League.
It’s no surprise that a host of Europe’s elite sides would already have their eyes on the pacey and skillful frontman.
Real Madrid find themselves in the above category.
Los Blancos are reportedly lining up a big-money swoop to snap Mbappe from PSG in the summer transfer window. His current contract at PSG is due to expire in 2022.
However, former Blancos forward Valdano believes the Frenchman will choose to stay put at the Parc des Princes beyond 2022.
Valdano told Onda Cero: “He has the personality to show all his class in the important games. I think that after this game, Mbappe is further away from Real Madrid than ever.
“I do not see them [PSG] now being very interested in the idea of replacing him with [Lionel] Messi.”
To back the above comments, Mbappe himself declared he was happy at PSG after the game against Barcelona.
It might be cliche or perhaps a genuine statement but time will tell if Real Madrid will get their wish or not.
