FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta Silences Fan’s Request to Sign Kylian Mbappe – “You Don’t Know Anything”

Kylian Mbappe is preparing for the final chapter of his PSG career. While the Frenchman is yet to make an official statement, esteemed soccer journalist Fabrizio Romano has stated, “Kylian Mbappé has now informed PSG that he will leave in July.” Links to Real Madrid are dominating amidst rumors of a Premier League move. However, in a recent development, FC Barcelona’s President Joan Laporta seems to have found himself on the receiving end of Mbappe-related queries.

The Frenchman was among the substitutes during PSG’s recent league match against FC Nantes. This caused immense speculation among the fans about the possibility of a move being worked behind the scenes. However, Luis Enrique had explained that it was just a matter of giving rest to the winger.

Joan Laporta’s cryptic and unusual response to a request to sign Mbappe

The Barcelona president was recently spotted signing autographs for fans. At this moment, one of the fans made an interesting request to the President to sign the PSG starman. Laporta, who was still smiling, said, “You don’t know anything.” Well, that comment provides more questions than answers. Firstly, is Barcelona plotting a move to sign the PSG winger? Or is Laporta fed up with the Kylian Mbappe queries? Regardless, any move to sign the PSG ace will not be easy owing to the Catalan club’s financial issues.

In the 2022-23 season, the Spanish giants were reportedly having a debt of more than $1.5 Billion! This proved a hurdle in signing players. And manager, Xavi seems to have realized this the hard way. Recently, he issued a shock reality check to fans when questioned regarding the signings of Kylian Mbappe & Erling Haaland. Xavi said, “Haaland or Mbappé? I’ll stay with the players I have. And also in the situation the club is in, we cannot think of signings of this caliber.”

A club well poised to sign a player of Mbappe’s caliber is Real Madrid. The Spanish giants have reportedly offered an annual salary of $28 million, along with a hefty signing bonus. On the other hand, PSG has maintained complete silence throughout the entire saga. But it seems Kylian Mbappe is still in their good books.
