Kylian Mbappe is yet to make a final decision regarding his future professional soccer club. Despite protracted negotiation, he has not confirmed whether he will extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) or finalize a move to Real Madrid, largely contributing to an environment of speculation and intrigue. Amidst this transfer drama, Mbappe’s French teammate Theo Hernandez has offered some advice, urging him to make the decision he believes is best for himself.

Differing reports continue swirling around about the 25-year-old’s potential switch to Los Blancos. On one end, PSG’s ambassador suggests the deal with Madrid is done, while La Liga President Javier Tebas believes the chances of the move happening are more than 50%.

Amidst these suggestion-laden scenes concerning Kylian Mbappe’s prospective journey to join Real Madrid emerges AS’ recent interview with Theo Hernandez. The AC Milan defender was asked about the possibility of the PSG sensation playing in white. The 26-year-old replied: “I have never asked him about that.” He then professed significant faith in his national teammate by stating, “Kylian is intelligent, and I am convinced he will make the right decision for his professional career.”

As a former Real Madrid player himself, the left-back was further asked about the advice he would give to Mbappe. Hernandez further commented, “I would advise him to make the decision he feels is best for his career and for his personal satisfaction. In the end, the most important thing is to feel fulfilled and happy,” he concluded.

This advice is undoubtedly positive and differs from the usual negative criticism the Paris-born has faced throughout this saga. Highlighting this backlash, Parisian rapper Booba recently criticized Kylian Mbappe, branding him as ‘overrated’ and ‘useless’.

Booba appears to be entangled in a one-sided dispute with Kylian Mbappe. In his recent song, he took a jab at the forward with lyrics, “They are overrated like Kylian.” Moreover, just days later, he leveled further criticism at the World Cup winner while also involving Real Madrid. Speaking out on his social media platform, Booba remarked, “It’s not a clash you’re overrated you’re useless you’re a tool of the system zero LDC zero stance (like most) go to Real to learn life with Vinicius good luck.”

Despite this barrage of critique from this unexpected antagonist, the PSG superstar has thus far refrained from responding publicly. It is evident that Kylian Mbappe’s transfer saga has extended far beyond the soccer pitch.
