  • Hugo Sanchez believes Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappé will join Real Madrid when the French star's current deal expires

  • Sanchez scored a staggering 208 goals for Real Madrid across 283 appearances between 1985 and 1992

Hugo Sanchez, a bona fide legend of Real Madrid, is confident Kylian Mbappé will eventually join the Spanish champions in the future.

Mbappé and Real Madrid were involved in a protracted transfer saga earlier in the summer, with the Frenchman reported to be on the verge of joining the La Liga outfit.

However, the 2018 World Cup winner ended up extending his deal with Paris Saint-Germain for three years after his previous contract with the Parisians expired in June.

"But knowing him, I am sure that one day he will play for Real Madrid."
