Kylian Mbappe is one of the biggest soccer players in the soccer world at the moment. Hence, he is also a dream signing for the owners who have deep pockets and big ambitions. It looks like investor Thomas Zilliacus has made a big statement about signing the PSG forward if he takes over Italian giants Inter Milan.

Inter Milan would be the perfect side to take over for the Finnish investor. This is a club that already has a number of world-class players in the squad. However, they do need that big investment to win trophies consistently.

The future of Kylian Mbappe at PSG continues to be in the air. In the last few transfer windows, Mbappe every time becomes the main focal point. However, the French forward’s agency has not yet made a final decision on his future. But, amid the Real Madrid rumors, Mbappe will have another option in the form of Inter Milan. This is because investor Thomas Zilliacus who is interested in a takeover of Inter Milan has made a big claim on Kylian Mbappe.

The Finnish investor was speaking to Italian journalists in an interview on the future takeover. A journalist asked him if the signing of Mbappe was a dream for this project. Thomas said, “The consequence of all this would then be the possibility of buying top players and, in general, improving an already strong team. Mbappe, for example, wouldn’t be just a dream.

This is a big claim from Thomas Zilliacus. He has also said that he has raised 2.5 Billion for the takeover and is aware of the asking price of the current Inter Milan ownership. However, the question is would Kylian Mbappe sign for Inter Milan because he has an AC Milan connection from childhood?

Kylian Mbappe has an AC Milan connection from his childhood days

Mbappe has joked in multiple interviews that the only side he would play for in Italy would be AC Milan. This is because he supported the rivals of Inter Milan in his childhood. Fayza, the mother of Kylian Mbappe has said, “When he came home, he only talked about Milan. If Milan lost, he would throw the remote control at the TV and say insults in Italian”. In an early interview, he mentioned being an AC Milan fan because of his Italian nanny. She loved the Italian giants as they watched the games together.

However, the biggest problem also remains the interest of Real Madrid. Kylian Mbappe continues to dream of a move to Real Madrid possibly the next summer. Whereas, Madrid also sees the Frenchman as their dream signing. They have kept the marquee striker position empty since the departure of Karim Benzema. Joselu is the only striker at the club.
