  • Kylian Mbappe has received priceless advice
  • The Frenchman is set to leave PSG this term
  • He is likely to join La Liga giants Real Madrid

Former Ballon d'Or winner, Luis Figo, has offered some words of wisdom to Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe as speculation mounts over his potential move to Real Madrid.

Mbappe is reportedly set to join the Spanish giants once his contract with PSG expires at the end of the 2023–24 season.

Despite interest from several Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool, Real Madrid seems to be his most likely destination.

Recently, when he was put in the spotlight, Kylian shut down suggestions that he could join the Gunners in the summer as he gets closer and closer to his PSG farewell, as noted by Football London.

Figo's 'golden' advice to Mbappe

Addressing the ongoing rumours, Figo drew from his own experience of making the controversial move from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 2000.

He advised Mbappe to prioritize his happiness above all else when considering his next career move.

“My advice to Mbappe is to be happy. I looked for my happiness, and I luckily signed for Real Madrid,” the former Portugal international said as quoted by MadridXtra.

Mbappe's form in his last dance with PSG

In the meantime, the 2018 World Cup winner remains focused on his performances for PSG.

Recently, he showcased his prowess with a ninth career hat-trick in PSG's 6-2 victory over Montpellier, further bolstering his remarkable goal tally for the French champions to 250, according to Transfermarkt.

While Mbappe has enjoyed significant success with PSG, including numerous goals and trophies since joining in 2017, his sights are set on clinching the Champions League title, which has proven elusive throughout his stay in the Fench capital, in his final season with the club.

PSG's upcoming clash against Barcelona in the UCL quarter-finals presents the 25-year-old with one last opportunity to achieve European glory before potentially departing for Los Blancos.

The prospect of Mbappe transferring to Real Madrid has stirred excitement among those associated with the esteemed Spanish club.

Amid escalating speculation regarding the Frenchman's next move and his rumoured inclination toward the Spanish capital, Los Blancos icon Ronaldo Nazario has expressed his endorsement of the prospective transfer.

Drawing from his extensive experience and notable achievements, including over 100 goals for the club, Ronaldo believes that joining the La Liga leaders would be a judicious decision for Mbappe, as reported by Sports Brief.
