It is thought that Kylian Mbappe will join a big European team this summer.
Someone asked Sir Dave Brailsford, the manager of Manchester United, if he could sign Kylian Mbappe. His answer was a bit cheeky.
There has been a lot of talk about moving the superstar around lately because his situation at Paris Saint-Germain is uncertain.
But it looks like he will be going to Real Madrid instead of Old Trafford.
People asked Brailsford, who is in charge of sports at new owners Ineos, if he could sign Mbappe.
With a sly grin, he responded, “I don’t think so. He’s probably going to Real Madrid, isn’t he?”
Mbappe, who is 25 years old, may be able to sign with any team he wants after leaving PSG this summer.
He almost left for Real Madrid two years ago, but instead signed a new deal.
That deal, though, ends this summer, and the Frenchman has decided not to sign a new one.
Real Madrid is eager to make a deal with Mbappe and is said to be “leaning towards” signing him.
Their offer has “unconvinced” his agents, though.
That could let other clubs move in, and Arsenal is said to be interested. Mbappe is thought to want to move there because he could follow in the lines of his hero, Thierry Henry.
Saudi Arabia was also interested in Mbappe last summer, with reports saying that PSG took an offer of £259 million from Al-Hilal to buy the forward.
