Displaying a consistent penchant for engaging in popular sports discussions, the French leader also openly expressed his determination to employ all available means to persuade Kylian Mbappe to remain at Paris Saint-Germain beyond the current summer transfer window, Goal reports.

Sports Brief also reported that Messi has the edge over Ronaldo in terms of goals scored across Europe’s top five leagues, as the Argentine also departs the continent.

In a move that all but confirms the end of an era for football, the former Paris Saint-Germain star will debut for Inter Miami in the American MLS as soon as next month.

His major move to the US top flight comes just six months after his long-term rival, Ronaldo, sourly parted ways with Manchester United for Saudi Arabian club, Al-Nassr.
