Kylian Mbappe recently disclosed his aspirations to eventually ply his trade in Serie A, expressing a childhood fondness for one of Italy’s illustrious clubs.
While his imminent move to Real Madrid is on the horizon, following his announcement to depart PSG as his contract concludes next month, Mbappe hinted at his admiration for AC Milan.
The 25-year-old bid farewell to PSG in style, clinching the Coupe de France title over Lyon.
Speaking at the European Globe Soccer Awards, Mbappe shared his sentiments, stating, “Italian football? You never know what happens.”
Fondly reminiscing his childhood allegiance to Milan, he added, “When I was a child, I was a Milan fan and I always said that one day I would play for them.”
Keeping a keen eye on Serie A, Mbappe emphasized his family’s longstanding support for Milan, expressing his admiration for the league and the prospect of facing its formidable teams in the Champions League.
AC Milan, steeped in Champions League history with seven titles to their name, stands as a formidable contender in European football.
While Real Madrid vies for their record-extending 15th Champions League title against Borussia Dortmund, Mbappe’s departure from PSG stirs mixed emotions.
Reflecting on his time at the club, he remarked, “I’ve been thinking a lot about the last few years. Saying that it’s all over, it makes my heart ache a little. What I’ve had here, I’ll never find anywhere else.”
