France successfully won the 2018 World Cup set in the final to beat Croatia 4-2 in a match that took place at Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday (15/7). In addition to the tactics and strategies appropriately implemented by coach Didier Deschamps, the performance of the players also seems to be given a thumbs up, one of the figures that became the key to success of the team is Kylian Mbappe. He successfully scored four goals and was also selected as the best young player.
Seeing the consistency and outstanding performance shown by Mbappe, Champions League champions in three consecutive seasons, Real Madrid were reportedly very interested to bring him and make the player to replace Cristiano Ronaldo who chose to leave Juventus.
But now the chance of El Real to success this transfer seems to be difficult because France star Kylian Mbappe insists he will remain focused on continuing his career with Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.
The name Mbappe increasingly skyrocketed in a slick performance in the 2018 World Cup. Not even 20 years old, Mbappe appear consistent throughout the World Cup and a mainstay of France to break into the opponent’s goal.
Mbappe scored four goals, as did Antoine Griezmann, including a goal he scored against Croatia in the 2018 World Cup final. At that time Mbappe fired a long-range shot that can not be anticipated by Danijel Subasic.
Having performed brilliantly in the 2018 World Cup, Mbappe became one of the names believed to be a new Real Madrid icon to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. But Mbappe said he would still focus on continuing his career with PSG.
“I will stay at PSG, continue my career with them.”
“I myself am still at an early stage in my career,” Mbappe said.
Mbappe himself just started skyrocketed in the last two seasons. After a successful performance with AS Monaco in the 2016/2017 season, Mbappe borrowed PSG last season with a purchase option for the following season.
Mbappe price agreed by PSG and Monaco is 135 million euros. PSG itself was lucky to have tied up a deal last season because Mbappe’s price is believed to be much higher when the negotiation process occurs after the World Cup this time.
In the last season, Mbappe managed to show that he can adapt to the PSG star team. Together with Edinson Cavani and Neymar, Mbappe makes PSG have one of the most dangerous attack lines in Europe.
Mbappe himself scored a total of 21 goals in all competitions for PSG last season.
