“it’s better to be king in your village” – Former Arsenal star Nasri warns Mbappe against Real Madrid move
Former Arsenal, Manchester City, and Sevilla player Samir Nasri has advised Kylian Mbappe against making a move to Real Madrid.
Nasri while speaking to Journal du Dimanche, believes that Mbappe would be better off staying at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
The retired player who had a successful career in English and Spanish football, emphasized on Mbappe’s roots in the Paris region and suggested that staying at PSG would be a wise decision.
“He is from the Paris region. I would stay at PSG instead of going to Real Madrid to win the Champions League.
“If Marseille had been owned by Qatar when I was at the club, I would never have left. I think it’s better to be king in your village,” he added.
The future of Kylian Mbappe at PSG has been nothing but speculations, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
The decision to move or not to move after the expiration of his contract at PSG lies totally in his hands.
Recall that Real Madrid has been a prominent contender for the French international signature, with President Florentino Perez expressing a strong desire to bring the 24-year-old to Los Blancos.
Although, the Spanish capital has denied any direct talks with player in a recent statement.
“Given information in the media about negotiations between the player Kylian Mbappé and our club, Real Madrid state that this information is categorically false.
“Negotiations have not taken place with a player who belongs to PSG,” the statement read.
