Mbappe’s coach, Antonio, remembered his childhood and stated, “Kylian told me that Milan is part of his projects but at the end of his career. Unfortunately, he was joking (…) I don’t want to give illusions to fans, he was joking”.
Meanwhile, Fayza, the mother of Kylian Mbappe, also mentioned, “When he came home, he only talked about Milan. If Milan lost, he would throw the remote control at the TV and say insults in Italian.” In an early interview, Kylian Mbappe mentioned being an AC Milan fan because of his Italian nanny. She loved the Italian giants as they watched the games together.
With Milan roots etched into his blood, Mbappe’s focus would be to assist PSG in conquering Milan. The Italian club has two draws in their first two games in the elite European competition.
