Kylian Mbappe's future continues to be talked about, not because his next destination is unknown - everything points to him joining Real Madrid - but because of the opinions that are being voiced about his decision. Former French player Marcel Desailly does not look favourably on his arrival at the Spanish giants.
Desailly, a World Cup winner with France in 1998, told 'beIN Sports' that if he were Mbappe he would leave for another continent: "If you think about the football business, I would go to Saudi Arabia for 350 million and come back next season to face the 2026 World Cup at just 26 or 27 years old."
"I'm not sure Madrid is the perfect place for him. They have Vinicius, they have Bellingham. He's not going to be the number one like he wants to be," he argued.
