Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe has admitted he will be watching Real Madrid more now that Zinedine Zidane is the Coach.
The France international – speaking after his hat-trick against former club Monaco sealed the Ligue 1 title and brought his league goal tally up to 30 – has spoken before of his admiration for the Coach.
“If Zizou is back, I will watch their games because I admire him,” Mbappe admitted in quotes cited by L’Equipe, before reaffirming his commitment to the Parisian club.
“I am here in Paris and invested in this project.”
A sensational report from France Football last month claimed Madrid president Florentino Perez had given his personal approval for the move and will lay the groundwork for a deal €280m move.
The 20-year-old has been elevated into one of world football’s most sought-after stars following a €170m switch to the Parisians from Monaco in the summer of 2017.
Madrid have been heavily linked with a summer bid for the former Monaco player, with significant investment in the squad expected during the close season.
