It's no more news that the former European Champions Real Madrid have been on the pursuit for the young 20 year old Kylian Mbappe as a suitable replacement for Christiano Ronaldo who departed unceremoniously to Juventus about a year ago. The Portuguese departure from the Bernabeu have created a huge void in the squad and Madrid have gone on to struggle just to stay within top four spot. Their dreadfulness got blown away by the wind and all of a sudden, the once European powerhouse came crashing so low. With inability for Los Blancos to cope and with Perez being under pressure to buy a replacement for the Portuguese, Madrid launched a pursuit for the big boys.
After a protracted transfer drama between Madrid and Chelsea, the Spanish side were able to sign the most valuable player from Stamford Bridge in the person of Eden Hazard. Kylian Mbappe has always been the top target for Los Blancos, but PSG are adamant about letting their prolific goal poacher to leave. However, with Mbappe's contract with PSG going to expire by 2021, the 20 year old will be faced with a huge choice to make, would he wanna remain at Parc des Prince or will he arrive at the Bernabeu as one of Madrid's target Galactico after Hazard. Mbappe has been predicted by many sports analysts and even fellow players as a future Ballon d'Or winner, as he continues to prove his mettle at such a tender age.
Thus, the Veteran Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon minced no words in expressing his expectations towards the young Frenchman as a future Ballon d’Or winner in a recent interview. The Juventus shot stopper said: “Kylian has the world in his hands. If he says to himself: ‘I must win the Ballon d’Or five times in ten years,’ he will do it. Everything depends on him.” Kylian Mbappe has got the pace, accuracy of a deadly striker and an amazing footwork to create chances for himself and the team when occasion calls for such ingenuity. He has been compared to Christiano Ronaldo in many aspects and is seen as the potential replacement for the five times Player of the year at the Bernabeu if Madrid will have to fight their way back to European contenders status.
Barcelona Now In Contention For Mbappe's Signature
Before now, the Catalan giants have not been too invested in signing the French wonder kid, as they have been more keen in signing back the Brazilian Neymar. However, it seems the whole saga will be having a new twist as there are rumours in the media that the Spanish Champions are now in contention for the signature of the 20 year old Mbappe alongside Real Madrid. This is coming in the wake for Barcelona to look for proper replacements for aging Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, as both attacking duo will be due for retirement in no distant time. Kylian will now have to battle whether to pick Real Madrid or Barcelona as his future destination should he decide to ply his trade away from France. It's had one for him and these two clubs are really tempting with offers.
Kylian is no doubt one of the greatest players on the planet currently despite being just 20, and his multi-dimensional nature on the pitch makes him a somewhat or most perfect replacement for the Argentine Lionel Messi at the Camp Nou. It's definitely gonna be a transfer battle between the two biggest clubs in the world from the same country. Mbappe's pedigree puts him as the perfect target for both clubs. The young goal poacher has won three Ligue one title and has also won the world cup at his age. I'm not unaware of the fact that PSG will not allow Mbappe leave the club on a cheap transfer fee, I'm seeing the young talisman becoming the most expensive player in history if he should finally decide to leave PSG. There are already suggestions that the Frenchman may opt for Barcelona to the surprise of many, after all, football is full of crazy stuffs.
