Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.
Eliminated in the semi-final of the Champions League, PSG is still officially awaiting the choice of Kylian Mbappé. Unsurprisingly, he should sign with Real Madrid, but Marcel Desailly always imagines a very lucrative surprise.
Since February, the future of Kylian Mbappé no longer in doubt. At least unofficially. The attacker of PSG should engage with the real Madrid. But while waiting for an official announcement, Marcel Desailly imagines a huge surprise.
“There must be a surprise behind this”
“ (In his place) I would go to another continent. I’m not sure Real Madrid is the right place for him. There is already Vinicius on the left side. There are players who have shown good things like Bellingham. He will not be the number 1 player as he wants. The fact of not announcing where he is going, even if he wants to keep it a secret and announce him as a star, there must be a surprise behind it », estimates the 1998 world champion on the set of bein Sportsbefore sending Kylian Mbappé in Saudi Arabia.
Desailly advises Mbappé to take €350M in Saudi Arabia
“ If we think about the football business, I would go towards 350 million for one year from Saudi Arabia. You come back next season, the year of the World Cup, you will only be 26 years old and you will have played football. He would get money and he would play football. What does Mbappé want? He wants to play football! This is what I think as a businessman. The Saudi championship is always competitive: look at the stadiums, they are full. There are many channels broadcasting matches around the world. Saudi Arabia wants to promote football like Qatar in 2004-2005. It’s a business on both sides and I think it would be a good opportunity for him to do more business and play football after the Euros », adds Marcel Desailly.
