Zlatan Ibrahimovic Reveals He Has Helped Kylian Mbappe Make a Decision on His Future

Kylian Mbappe is one of the best players on the planet, and at 23, he is someone who is in demand all over the world. However, there is one club that he has been linked to ever since he burst onto the scene, and that is Real Madrid.

The Spanish club even made an outrageous bid of $200 million for Mbappe during the final stages of the transfer window, but Paris Saint Germain rejected it and want to keep him at all costs. The Frenchman is going to be out of contract in the next six months, and hence, his future is PSG’s top priority.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic and his conversation with Mbappe

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a player who has a place among the legends who have played for PSG down the years. The Swedish international has scored over 150 goals for the club in his four years there. However, PSG won’t be happy with their former star after he revealed the advice that he gave to Mbappe regarding his future.

“It is true that he asked me and one day I replied: In your place, I would go to Real Madrid. I had the opportunity to play for different teams, different countries, with different footballers and that’s how I learned and grew up. Playing at home your entire career is easier. Going away is an adventure,” Zlatan said.

It’ll be interesting to see if Mbappe takes his advice, as the odds are very high that he does. Madrid are looking to make a statement in the transfer window, and signing Mbappe would certainly be the biggest one right now.

Kylian Mbappe and his numbers for PSG this season

Mbappe has been in fine form for PSG this season, as the youngster has scored 10 goals in 19 Ligue 1 matches this season. Moreover, he has also added 8 assists to his tally.

However, he has truly shown his class in the UEFA Champions League, where he has formed a deadly partnership with Lionel Messi. He has scored four goals in the UCL so far in six matches, and he has a chance to add some more to his tally when PSG faces Real Madrid in their UCL Round-of-16 tie.
