“As a Real Madrid fan, I will sign Mbappé tomorrow,” the tennis great said.

Nadal, who is an avid Los Blancos supporter, also commented on Madrid’s previous attempt to sign the attacker. The La Liga champions were linked with a move for the 24-year-old in the summer but Mbappé rejected the move in favour of staying in France.

Many were upset with the player for failing to make the move, but Nadal doesn’t hold any grudges against him.

“I don’t have to forgive Mbappé for anything. In sports, these things happen. He wanted to come to Real Madrid but he was under a lot of pressure and everything was complicated for him. I hope to see him at Madrid in the future,” he said.

Football Espana recently reported that Madrid are willing to fork out €1bn for the player.
