Premier League Clubs Have No Chance in Kylian Mbappe Chase As Real Madrid Stands As Sole Destination, Asserts La Liga President

The Spanish league’s president Javier Tebas had said in February that there is a 99% chance for Real Madrid to sign Kylian Mbappe. This came from Tebas after rumors said that Mbappe had agreed to a Madrid switch behind the scenes. However, the Frenchman has recently quashed this rumor saying he would speak about his future only before the UEFA Euros start. Even while pundits and fans are awaiting Mbappe’s confirmation, Javier Tebas seems to have not softened his stance on the Frenchman’s potential Los Blancos move.

Javier Tebas has now asserted there is a chance in hell for English Premier League clubs to sign Kylian Mbappe after he leaves PSG in the summer. “If it is by faith, I have already said that it is 99.9%. For the information and indications. Due to the circumstances that exist with the regulation of economic control and Fair Play, it will not go to any Premier League club and the only club left in the world is Real Madrid, said Javier Tebas, as compiled by TyC Sports.

While Tebas has ruled out EPL sides from the race for Mbappe’s signature, the Frenchman gets heavily linked to an English switch with each passing day. Most rumors have it that Arsenal is trying heavily to poach the 2018 World Champion. Meanwhile, Liverpool also reportedly has the 25-year-old on their radar. Besides, French soccer legend Robert Pires also asked Mbappe to consider a switch to Anfield. Amid all this, PSG added their part to fuel the drama around Mbappe’s future.

Though Kylian Mbappe has been tight-lipped about his future, he confirmed one thing. He said he’ll leaving the Parisian club, quashing all chances of a contract extension. However, PSG’s head coach Luis Enrique said he still hopes Mbappe would consider extending his contract with the French outfit. Notably, PSG is a worthy contender for the UEFA Champions League. A UCL title is arguably the last piece in the jigsaw for Mbappe, who won a World Cup when he was 19. If he wins the UCL with PSG this time, it won’t be beyond him to consider staying.

Nevertheless, Enrique is not doing much to keep Mbappe happy, despite his expectations. Rather, the Spanish boss has tremendously upset the Frenchman by reducing his playtime. In a recent Ligue 1 tie against Marseille, Enrique prematurely subbed the PSG striker. This infuriated the latter and even allegedly cursed the PSG coach. Meanwhile, reports hint that the Real Madrid front office is least perturbed by Enrique saying Mbappe might consider staying in PSG. So, it is most likely that Mbappe would fulfill Tebas’ prediction and fly to the Santiago Bernabeu soon.
