Kylian Mbappe has climbed another rung on French football’s ladder of greatness as the Real Madrid sensation etched his name above Thierry Henry by netting his 52nd international goal, becoming France’s second-highest scorer of all time. Only Olivier Giroud now stands between him and the ultimate record.
Ibrahima Konate has jokingly claimed that Kylian Mbappe calls him frequently to convince him to follow in Trent Alexander-Arnold's footsteps and join Real Madrid next summer. Konate, who has entered the final year of his contract with Liverpool, has been linked with a move to Los Blancos as he has yet to negotiate a new deal with the Premier League champions.
Kylian Mbappe has revealed that he could have taken a very different path in his career, with the Real Madrid forward admitting that Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig all made attempts to sign him while he was still at Monaco. The French superstar, who eventually joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2017, has now reflected on those early approaches.
