Le Sport 10 revealed that Kylian Mbappé had a great desire to join Barcelona. However, the Catalan club preferred another player over him.
The talk here, according to the French network, is about the year 2017. When Neymar da Silva left Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain in the largest football deal in history, worth 222 million euros.
At that time, Mbappe was still a player in Monaco and his talent emerged. Barcelona management put him as their option to replace the Brazilian star.
At the same time, Real Madrid was also interested in including Mbappe. The surprise here is that the player was inclined and preferred to move to Barcelona at that time.
Mbappe’s thinking at the time was that by joining Barcelona, he would guarantee participation on a basic basis. Unlike Real Madrid, which was full of stars in the historic Cristiano Ronaldo era.
But in the end, Barcelona made its decision not to sign Mbappe, He turned to another option, which was Ousmane Dembélé, for 100 million euros from Borussia Dortmund.
A year later, Mbappé moved to Paris Saint-Germain. It seems that the 25-year-old’s journey will end at the Princes’ Park Stadium at the end of this season, as he is close to leaving for Real Madrid for free.
This talk contradicts the widespread belief that Mbappé dreamed of joining Real Madrid since his childhood and that he is a fan of the Royal Club. In the end, the fact that he wanted Barca and not Real Madrid is still unknown.
