- Real Madrid interested in signing Kylian Mbappe from PSG on free transfer
- French forward yet to make decision on future
- Rodrygo has backed Madrid to sign Mbappe
Real Madrid forward Rodrygo has revealed he would be excited to play alongside Kylian Mbappe should he join the club from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Without a clear plan for the future, Mbappe’s contract with PSG will expire at season’s end.Ninety minutes finds out that he has a deal with club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to be the first to know when he makes a decision.
As a result of a convoluted legal agreement, sources have informed 90min that PSG are OK with the scenario, as they may recoup up to €80 million from Mbappe in loyalty incentives and other factors if he departs this summer. Marcus Rashford of Manchester United, Victor Osimhen of Napoli, and Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig are on their shortlist of potential replacements who may be purchased with this sum.
As rumors of a transfer to Real Madrid continue to circulate, Rodrygo has given his stamp of approval to the club’s pursuit of Kylian Mbappe.
We will benefit from Kylian Mbappe’s presence. He is among the world’s finest. Naturally, he wants to play alongside the elite players, but he won’t elaborate.
For the third time, Rodrygo has supported Madrid’s pursuit of PSG star Kylian Mbappe. While discussing the prospect of playing with Harry Kane—who would subsequently join Bayern Munich from Tottenham Hotspur—during that summer’s transfer window, he made reference to the Frenchman.
“At Real Madrid, it’s very complicated, there are always rumours and this year there were rumours about Harry Kane,” he told reporters at the time.
Everyone in Madrid was talking about Paul Pogba’s arrival when I got there, but I don’t know anything about him. Obviously, we would really benefit from Mbappe’s presence. We have no idea, but he is a genuine celebrity.
