The inquiry into Christian Christensen’s preference for the managerial role at Barcelona, amidst the backdrop of potential candidates like Hansi Flick and Thomas Tuchel, elicited the following response from him:
With Kylian Mbappe’s imminent transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Real Madrid nearing completion ahead of the summer, the final chapter of the Mbappe to Real Madrid saga seems to be unfolding.
Prior to the expiration of his contract this summer, the French forward has already conveyed his desire not to extend his stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
Subsequently, negotiations with Real Madrid have progressed, with indications suggesting that Mbappe has already agreed to the terms of his transfer.
Regarding other contractual details, such as his potential participation in the upcoming Olympics in Paris, negotiations with Real Madrid remain pending before the official announcement of his arrival can be made.
Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, a key figure in the squad, has openly discussed Mbappe’s impending arrival, stating, “Would I sign Mbappe if I could? Without a doubt.
He is an exceptional player. However, inquiries regarding transfers should be directed to the club, not to me.”
Meanwhile, Liverpool’s Ibrahim Konate, among Mbappe’s compatriots, has dismissed speculation about the forward’s potential move to Liverpool, asserting, “Do you really think he’s going to come to Liverpool?” With awareness of Mbappe’s destination, there is no cause for concern among Liverpool players.
Antoine Griezmann has also weighed in on the matter, expressing his pleasure at the prospect of Mbappe joining the ranks in Spain.
In an interview with Le Monde, the French midfielder remarked, “Mbappe? It would be a pleasure to have him in Spain. Competing against him in a derby would be a great joy for me.”
Mbappe and Griezmann’s relationship extends beyond the football field, having played together for the French national team since 2017, culminating in their triumphant World Cup campaign in 2018.
Griezmann’s standout performance in the final earned him the Man of the Match award, with both players making significant contributions to the team’s success.
Off the field, they have also been involved in discussions regarding leadership roles within the French national team.
While Griezmann was considered for the captaincy following Hugo Lloris’s resignation in 2017, Mbappe ultimately assumed the role, emerging as the team’s leader.
