An inveterate supporter of the Merengue and tipped by some to become, in the future, president of Real Madrid, Rafael Nadal is ready to welcome Kylian Mbappé “with open arms”.
Madrid supporters once again had to make up their minds: while PSG was ready to let Kylian Mbappé leave, the French team striker ultimately stayed in Paris, where he will be at the end of his contract in next June. Real Madrid did not want to move, ready to wait until next summer to sign him for free. Even if it means taking the risk of seeing him extend once again with the Rouge et Bleu.
In any case, Merengue fans seem to have forgiven his about-face last season. While he had given his agreement to Real Madrid, the French world champion had in fact allowed himself to be convinced by the Parisian leaders and had returned to PSG. An affirmed supporter of the Madrid giant, Rafael Nadal does not hold it against him. Quite the contrary…
“I would welcome Mbappé with open arms. Who doesn’t like Mbappé? »launched the former world number one in a long interview with Movistar, believing that Real Madrid needed “no more attackers”. “He has no obligation to come when we, the fans, ask him to. If he comes, I will be grateful, not resentful”he added, estimating also that the Merengue club had made “a spectacular recruitment with Bellingham”. Enough to make us forget the “significant injuries to Courtois, Militao or Vinicius…”.
Rafael Nadal was also asked about the possibility of seeing him sit in the chair of president of Real Madrid as some imagine in the Spanish capital. “I don’t have this dream, but I would like to,” he said. But for now, there is nothing to say, because we have the best president possible. Then life takes many turns and you have to ask yourself if you are capable of doing certain things. I don’t think I qualify to be one.”
