Kylian Mbappé hasn’t decided on his future, but it isn’t stopping football pundits from giving their opinions on what the Frenchman should do. The latest comes from TNT Sports pundit and former footballer Peter Crouch.
After Paris Saint-Germain’s 2-0 victory against Real Sociedad at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 encounter, Crouch weighed in on where he wants to see Mbappé next season.
Crouch praised the 25-year-old, who scored the opening goal, for his performance against the Spanish side. Nonetheless, the Englishman wants to see the PSG star at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
“Any team in the world takes Kylian Mbappé,” Crouch said on TNT Sports. “He’s probably the best player at the moment. Obviously, still young. His stats back it up. He’s an absolutely incredible player. Paris will do everything in their power to keep him there, but our man on the ground there, Julian, seems to think he’s nailed on to go to Real Madrid.
“In all honesty, I hope he does go to a fantastic club with great history, playing with top players in the Champions League, and players like that deserve to go on and win the Champions League, and I think he can do that.”
"If you said this was the last game of football you were ever going to watch… you'd go and watch him!"

Journalist Julien Laurens provided an update on the issue. Laurens continues to stand behind his previous report that Mbappé will leave PSG after the 2023-24 season.
The Frenchman will become a free agent in June when his contract with the Parisians expires. Furthermore, Laurens notes that the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner’s next destination is Real Madrid.
