Real Madrid board member Otero: Mbappe born to play here; he will come

Real Madrid board member Juan Manuel Otero says they're still hopeful of signing PSG star Kylian Mbappe.

Off contract in June, Mbappe's future is up in the air with PSG not giving up on securing him to a new deal.

Otero said on the Remontada Blanca Twitch channel, “Mbappé has had the opportunity to sign for Real Madrid this summer. To come he would have had to give up some very high bonuses that he had already agreed with Paris Saint-Germain.

"Furthermore, he would have been transferred. The amount that would be paid to have Mbappé a year earlier was crazy. It didn't make sense to sign Mbappé a year earlier even though we were broken in (Karim) Benzema's position.

"We hope Mbappé thought the same as Bellingham. Mbappé I trust that he will come. Mbappé will achieve glory when he comes to Real Madrid. Meanwhile he will be wandering around. He will win a Champions League someday.

"Now it seems that PSG is less powerful than before because they no longer have such good players. Madrid guarantees security, a seriousness that gives results. I trust he will say yes when he is a free agent. Mbappé was born to play for Real Madrid, of course."
