Real Madrid's complaints about Kylian Mbappe's new deal have prompted Gary Lineker to respond.
Gary Lineker, a former Barcelona player, has delivered his judgement on Kylian Mbappe's choice to leave Real Madrid for PSG, delivering a tough reality check for Los Blancos.
Mbappe has chosen to extend his contract with the Ligue 1 winners for another three years, keeping him in Paris until 2025. It means that, contrary to popular belief, he will not join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer.His decision has sparked outrage in Madrid, with La Liga issuing a statement announcing that they will register an official protest with UEFA. Los Blancos will now have to find a new Galactico to construct their team around, despite club president Florentino Perez almost guaranteeing Mbappe's arrival.
Lineker, on the other hand, seems unconcerned with Madrid and La Liga's dissatisfaction with Mbappe's decision to stay. Instead, the Match of the Day host slammed the two clubs for their whining, giving a scathing rebuttal regarding their current place in Europe's football hierarchy.
"I adore Spanish football, but the whining about @KMbappe staying at @PSG English damaging the game is a little much." The two Spanish behemoths have always attracted and compensated fans.While Mbappe's childhood club was believed to be Real Madrid, the striker will now continue to play for PSG's superstars. And the 23-year-old was adamant that staying in France was the best option.
