In the latest development surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s future, rumors have been circulating about a phone call that took place between Lionel Messi and Mbappe. Reports from Spain’s Defensa Central have shed light on the conversation between the Argentine superstar and Mbappe prior to Messi’s departure from PSG to join Inter Miami. According to the reports, Messi advised Mbappe, saying, “I would prefer you to come to Barcelona. But if you want to go to Real Madrid, go ahead. You deserve a truly ambitious project, a project that aims for victory.”
While the phone call has sparked speculation about Mbappe’s potential move to Barcelona, it is important to note that Mbappe is yet to make a decision about his future. The young French forward has enjoyed success with PSG, securing five Ligue 1 titles and three French Cups. However, the coveted UEFA Champions League trophy has eluded him thus far. Recent reports in France suggest that Mbappe has decided not to renew his contract with PSG, fueling rumors of a potential free transfer to Real Madrid.
In another twist, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has voiced concerns about Saudi Arabia’s continuous efforts to lure top stars using financial incentives. Carragher specifically mentioned the rumored transfer of Bernardo Silva to the Gulf nation, despite the Portuguese midfielder recently achieving a historic treble with Manchester City and being at the peak of his career.
Taking to Twitter, Carragher expressed his worry about the influence of the Saudi League in acquiring players, especially those in their 30s. While he acknowledged some concern regarding players of a lower caliber, such as Ruben Neves, Carragher emphasized the potential impact of a Bernardo Silva move, stating it would be a game-changer in the world of football.
Saudi Arabia has already hosted major sporting events, including golf tournaments and high-profile boxing matches. Now, their focus seems to be on dominating the world of football. Carragher called for a halt to this financial-driven sports expansion program, highlighting the need to reassess their approach.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand revealed his desired signing for the club in the upcoming summer transfer window. Additionally, the latest football news update includes information related to the highly anticipated El Clasico clash between Barcelona and Real Madrid in the upcoming season.
As Mbappe’s future remains uncertain and transfer rumors continue to circulate, football fans eagerly await official announcements regarding the next chapter in the young Frenchman’s career.
