Kylian Mbappe is advised not to sign for Manchester City due to this reason
Kylian Mbappe and Manchester CIty
Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint Germain could finally part ways at the end of the current season. The Parisian team still cannot convince the French player to finish renewing until 2025. This would mean that the player could end up leaving for free in the summer of 2024, and options are beginning to emerge, with Real Madrid as the big favorite. However, the possibility of Manchester City is not far-fetched, but a French football legend advises Kylian Mbappe not to follow that path.
Kylian Mbappe still does not have his future defined. And as the deadline for him to expire his contract with PSG approaches, interested parties are beginning to emerge to retain the services of one of the best forwards in the world. One of those that always rings bells is Manchester City, led by Spanish coach Pep Guardiola. It’s exciting to see him in the Premier League, something that would further enhance a competition that dominates global football today.
However, the former defender Marcel Desailly, Mbappé’s compatriot, warned what could happen with a virtual signing of the scorer with the Ciudadanos. Desailly points out that Pep’s disciplined style could “ruin” the French striker’s offensive potential, because he is a coach which tends to stifle the creativity of stars, as happened with Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva. The French soccer legend believes that Kylian Mbappe has to shine by his own light and that he cannot go to a team full of stars where he is overshadowed in one way or another.
What else did Desailly say?
“In France, we say that the way City play doesn’t leave much space for individual players. With all their passing, they don’t really adapt to players who want to take on defenders. They pass, they move. Silva and Grealish have the ability to play as a link, but that was eliminated by Guardiola’s philosophy,” Desailly said in statements reported by depor.com.
