Veteran French footballer Jerome Rothen has made an interesting comment to Radio Montecarlo. He said Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid was inevitable, but Coronavirus thwarted everything.
“Before the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, I knew from the club’s internal sources that Real Madrid had almost completed the transfer of Kylian Mbappe from PSG. However, after all, that is happening, Mbappe’s move to Real has been delayed,” he said.
The “Royal Club” has been wanting to buy a young PSG striker for a long time. But for some reason, the transfer did not take place. The prominent member of the residents of “Park de France” wants to adjust the shape of “Blancos” himself.
Recall, Mbappe has been playing for PSG since 2017 and has a contract with the club until 2022.
Real will return to Mbappe a year later.
According to Spanish AS, Real Madrid’s management will no longer try to buy Kylian Mbappe during the next transfer window.
As you already know, amid the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Madridians postponed the purchase of the French offensive until the summer of 2021.
Also, the “Royal Club” hopes that due to the crisis, the price of Mbappe will fall. Accordingly, they hope to pay 60 million less instead of 200 million euros.
It should also be noted that according to earlier reports, PSG are accustomed to the idea that Neymar will leave the club in the summer. However, they are not going to sell the second leader of the team.
