The future of Kylian Mbappe has been the talk of the football world for over a year. Mbappe’s contract at PSG expires in three months, and he hasn’t made a decision about his next club yet. Given his talent and young age, several clubs will be scrambling to sign him.

However, the Spanish club Real Madrid is probably leading the race. They made a bid for Mbappe in the summer transfer window, which amounted to over $200 million. Paris Saint Germain rejected the bid, and are still trying to convince Mbappe to stay.

Karim Benzema reveals why he plays well with Mbappe

While Kylian Mbappe has been one of the best forwards on the planet this season, his fellow French strike partner Karim Benzema has been better. The Real Madrid star has scored 24 goals in the La Liga, along with 11 assists, and his performances in the UCL have been noteworthy, especially his hat trick against PSG.

Benzema spoke about the prospect of playing with Mbappe next season in an interview with L’Equipe. The forward said that he gets on well with the young star because they have a sense of the other’s movements. He added that when one of them occupies the left flank, the other player will drop deeper, or play centrally.

With Mbappe, we get on well because we know what the other is going to do. For example, we both like to go left but we will never both be there at the same time: the other will come inside, or drop deeper,” Benzema said.

I like playing with him in national team and I would like to play with him in club. I think we would score double the goals. Or maybe even triple,” he added.
