The only thing I know for sure today is that there is a lot of uncertainty. We'll have to deal with it. »
“If he does well at Real, I will continue to ask”
Real Madrid, where Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouameni and Ferland Mendy are already playing and where Kylian Mbappé is obviously expected, has already made it known that it does not intend to release its French.

I will try until the end, because I want the best team”, he assured.
