After a record-equalling brace in Le Classique for Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday, Kylian Mbappe (24) was in attendance at FIFA The Best ceremony on Monday, where he revealed that if he were to ever play in Italy, he would only play for AC Milan.
The France international, now Ligue 1’s best goalscorer with 17 strikes, attended FIFA’s prize-giving night in Paris, where his PSG teammate Lionel Messi (35) received the title of Best Player of the year, closely followed by the Paris-born 24-year-old.
During the ceremony, a fan in the audience enquired about Mbappé’s whereabouts in the foreseeable future.
The PSG forward is tied with Les Parisiens with a contract set to expire in 2024, but it includes an option for a further year.
It is not far-fetched to believe that Real Madrid will try again to persuade Mbappe to put pen to paper with La Casa Blanca, unless PSG’s joint all-time goalscorer takes everyone by surprise and chooses an unlikely destination, like Italy for instance.
Mbappe revealed that he already has a favoured Serie A team. “If I come [in Italy], I’ll only do so for AC Milan“, joked Mbappé. That’s something for Rossoneri fans to dream about.
