Kylian Mbappe snubbed Real Madrid to pen a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain but Luka Modric believes a transfer may still happen.
Luka Modric believes that Kylian Mbappe could still move to Real Madrid in the future despite snubbing the Champions League winners to remain at Paris Saint-Germain.
Kylian Mbappe was widely expected to move to Santiago Bernabeu, with his contract at PSG having been set to expire.
But instead, he elected to pen a new deal to extend his stay in Paris through to 2025.
That led to an angry reaction from Madrid fans, and even LaLiga president Javier Tebas, who expressed his frustration by declaring the decision an “insult to football” as he launched a complaint to UEFA.
However, Luka Modric has stated that Mbappe should not be crucified for staying in France.
And believes the door remains open for the 23-year-old to head to Real Madrid in the coming years.
Luka Modric told Sportske:
“Kylian Mbappe decided as he decided, that is his right and now he lives with that decision. It goes on.
“We all thought he would come to us, it didn’t happen and – now what? Well, we’re not going to crucify the man.
“Mbappe is a great player, but as I always repeat, in any context, no player is more important than the club.
“Real Madrid is the greatest, above every player and it will always be like that.
“Who knows what can happen tomorrow, let alone in three or four years in football? Only time will tell.”
Kylian Mbappe’s snub did not affect the end of the season for Madrid, who had wrapped up another LaLiga title.
And went on to defeat Liverpool Football Club 1-0 in the Champions League final, which was held in Paris.
