Hey there folks, big news in the football world! The RC Lens has just announced the signing of none other than Kylian Mbappé.
Now, we all know Mbappé shot to stardom with AS Monaco before making the big move to PSG. But did you know he could have started his career with RC Lens? That’s right, Gervais Martel revealed that Mbappé had actually signed a youth contract with the club.
After years of ups and downs, RC Lens is finally back in the spotlight. The team finished second in the French league last season, just a point behind PSG. And now, they’re gearing up for their return to the Champions League after bouncing between Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 for so long.
But imagine if Mbappé had stayed with RC Lens from the beginning? According to Martel, it could have happened. “I could have had a Samuel Eto’o, a Kylian Mbappé who had signed a youth contract with us, and the relegation to Ligue 2 had prevented that,” he said in an interview with L’Union.
It’s always interesting to think about how things could have been different in football, and this is definitely one of those “what if” moments. But either way, RC Lens and its fans have plenty to look forward to with Mbappé on board. Here’s to an exciting future for the club and its new star player!
