Kylian Mbappe is one of the best players on the planet, and at 23, he is someone who is in demand all over the world. However, there is one club that he has been linked to ever since he burst onto the scene, and that is Real Madrid.

The Spanish club even made an outrageous bid of $200 million for Mbappe during the final stages of the transfer window, but Paris Saint Germain rejected it and want to keep him at all costs. The Frenchman is going to be out of contract in the next six months, and hence, his future is PSG’s top priority.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his conversation with Mbappe

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a player who has a place among the legends who have played for PSG down the years. The Swedish international has scored over 150 goals for the club in his four years there. However, PSG won’t be happy with their former star after he revealed the advice that he gave to Mbappe regarding his future.

It is true that he asked me and one day I replied: In your place, I would go to Real Madrid. I had the opportunity to play for different teams, different countries, with different footballers and that’s how I learned and grew up. Playing at home your entire career is easier. Going away is an adventure,” Zlatan said.
