The forward is the top target for title-rivals, Real Madrid but Valverde is confident that he can convince him for a move to Camp Nou.

Kylian Mbappe is a Real Madrid fan from childhood. The forward has been snapped wearing a Madrid jersey and also posing for photos with his ‘idol’, Cristiano Ronaldo.

He was also close to joining Madrid and met Zidane, but Monaco made a late swoop and signed him up. The AS Monaco star also confirmed the meeting and said,

“I experienced that like a child who sees the greatest French player in history talk to him. He was really honest with me. It was a great moment. In the end, I didn’t join Real Madrid because I wanted to stay in my country, I didn’t want to leave so early. It wouldn’t have worked. I chose to come to Monaco, and I madethe right choice.”
