Ronaldo, the former Brazilian striker, would not be surprised to see Kylian Mbappé (25) join Real Madrid in the summer.
After speaking to RMC Sport, the 2002 World Cup winner and former Madridista expressed why he could see the French star in the famous white shirt. Hinting that it would be a perfect home as ‘Madrid always has the best players in the world… it’s a philosophy that has been maintained for many years and it’s no surprise that they continue to want the best footballers.’
Ronaldo made it clear that despite having been seen having a conversation with Mbappé during the NBA event in Paris on the 11th of January, he could only speculate on the Frenchman’s future. ‘I don’t know if he’s going to Real Madrid, but it’s true that he speaks almost perfect Spanish.’
No resolution in sight for the Mbappé transfer saga
What was clear from his conversation with RMC Sport was that the former forward was hoping for a swift resolution to a transfer saga that has dragged on without an end in sight for years. ‘I don’t know what’s going to happen, but it’s a soap opera that’s already becoming very long.’
Whether there will be any resolution to this ‘soap opera’ in the coming weeks is still unclear. The reported deadline that Madrid set for their negotiations has passed with no further sign indicating where Mbappé’s future lies.
