Kylian Mbappe embarked on an emphatic journey since the inception of his professional soccer career with his goal prowess and dynamic style of play. The Frenchman reached significant heights through his illustrious performances in both domestic and international fixtures. Meanwhile, Mbappe’s former teammate reflects on the success he foresaw in his career during their time together at AS Monaco.

In the interim, the transfer speculation of Mbappe with Real Madrid drags on as he is yet to sign a new contract with PSG. Los Blancos has consistently expressed a strong desire to pen down a contract with the 2018 World Cup winner. However, Florentino Perez’s enigmatic response to this transfer saga left the soccer fans scratching their head.

What did the French starlet’s former teammate remark about his time with Monaco?

Vágner Love moved to AS Monaco during the 2015-2016 season, where he witnessed Kylian Mbappe’s emergence into his professional career from the youth academy. He was already impressed by the Frenchman’s talent and anticipated his rise as one of the promising young talents. Furthermore, the French forward made a remarkable start with Monaco, netting 27 goals in just 60 games before signing for PSG in 2017.

On this note, Love admires the impressive trajectory of his former French teammate. The Brazilian star recalled the brilliance he witnessed in Mbappe’s gameplay. Love remarked in UOL Sports,

“He always trained with us. Sometimes he would come and play a match, and we played together. He was already exceptional; he was a very fast boy. ‘Mbappé, is really a very special child. I’m sure he will go far”, but I didn’t think it would be this fast.’”

Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe’s signing for Los Blancos still lingers for the soccer enthusiast. The Real Madrid president made a recent remark regarding this instance that has fueled the transfer speculations.

What did the club president say on signing Kylian Mbappe?

Florentino Perez secured many monumental signings for Madrid, including Jude Bellingham who has hit the ground running at his new club. And Perez was eager to bring the Monaco star on board. Previously, he was dissatisfied after Mbappe penned a new contract during the 2022 season.

As reported by Eurosport, he previously said in an interview, “His dream was to play at Real Madrid. We wanted to do it last August and they didn’t let him leave; he kept saying he wanted to play at Madrid, and like 15 days before, he changed the situation.” Further, he added, “This is not the Mbappe I wanted to bring, he is another one, who must have changed his dream. He changes, he is offered other things, he is pressured and he is already another footballer.”
