Kylian Mbappé is a new Real Madrid player after years of speculation. The French footballer will arrive at the Santiago Bernabéu with the aim of making history and leaving his mark on the club.
Florentino Pérez had been trying to sign him for some time. In fact, the first time the Bondy native was linked to the Whites was in 2017, just when he was at AS Monaco and ended up joining PSG.
At that time, Pep Guardiola also took notice of him. The Catalan coach wanted to sign him for Manchester City. Proof of this is the information from L’Équipe, which reveals that a meeting took place between the two.
The English team’s coach assured him that he wanted him in his ranks: “The first player who comes is you,” the coach told him. However, it seems that he did not convince the player, who responded with a striking and interesting question: “Where do I play in your team?”.
The Bondy native was not clear about his participation at the Etihad Stadium, so he opted to go to his hometown and wear the colors of PSG.
Born to play for Real Madrid
There is clear evidence that Mbappé always wanted to reach the Santiago Bernabéu. Despite what happened in 2022, the Frenchman was clear that at some point in his career he had to play for Real Madrid, as he will do from next season.
Fortunately, the paths of both sides have finally come together and Pep Guardiola will forever be left wanting to manage the Bondy player.
