“He Said It Himself” – Karim Benzema Confident of Kylian Mbappe’ Move to Real Madrid From PSG

Real Madrid is inarguably one of the most prestigious football clubs in the world. Most players have openly admitted that they have dreamt of playing for the Los Blancos. And despite Real Madrid not being at its peak of sporting power, the fact that a superstar like Kylian Mbappe was willing to leave PSG is a testament to Real Madrid’s prestige.

Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid could have possibly been the biggest transfer of last summer. According to rumors, Real Madrid bid 220 million euros for the Frenchman, who had only one year left on his contract. Much to the shock, PSG declined this humongous bid and now risk losing their talisman for free.

Kylian Mbappe will play for Real Madrid, says Karim Benzema

The deadline day was rife with Mbappe to Real Madrid rumors this summer. It was well known that Mbappe was very interested in a move to Madrid. In a recent interview, Mbappe’s France teammate Karim Benzema confirmed the same. Mbappe allegedly told Benzema that a move was on the cards at some time in his career. Benzema talked about the same during his conversation with L’Equipe.

“He [Kylian Mbappé] said it himself. He wants to see and experience something else and he will play for Real Madrid someday, I don’t know when, but he will come. It’s just a matter of time.”

 Real Madrid is the pinnacle of football, feels Karim Benzema

This is not the first time the Real Madrid talisman has spoken about Kylian Mbappe and his move to Real Madrid. Speaking to Marca a month ago, the Frenchman had said that Real Madrid, according to him, is the pinnacle of football and every player aspires to wear the famous white jersey one day.

“All the big players want to come one day to Real Madrid, so I hope that he can do so quickly if he wants to leave PSG – who are also a good team. He’s a good player as he has already shown. For his young age, he knows how to do everything. These are the players that I love, who know how to take a touch to do something meaningful.”

PSG currently is a team boasting of arguably the greatest striking trio in recent football history. Meanwhile, Madrid has not been the same ever since Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus. Even the arrival of Eden Hazard could not do any good for Madrid. However, the signing of Mbappe will surely be a huge boost for Real Madrid.
