Former Real Madrid winger Luís Figo has forwarded a public message to Paris Saint-Germain (PSL) star Kylian Mbappe ahead of his potential transfer to Los Blancos next summer
Speaking in an interview with Madrid-based outlet Marca earlier today, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of Mbappé’s impending arrival in Spain was put to club legend, Luís Figo.
Asked specifically whether he has any advice for the France international when it comes to the move, Figo preached one simple message – seek happiness.
“To be happy, that’s the most important thing in life. I looked for my happiness, and I was lucky enough to come to Real Madrid and be there for five years.”
Figo made a rather contentious move from Barcelona to the Bernabeu in the summer of 2000. In 245 appearances across competitions, he bagged 57 goals and 93 assists, winning two La Liga titles, among others.
Remember, Mbappe is expected to complete his long-awaited move to Real Madrid in the summer after reportedly informing PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi that he will leave the club after the end of the season as a free agent.
The Frenchman’s move to Madrid is just a matter of time now as multiple outlets have reported that the official deal will be announced as soon as final details are agreed upon between the two sides.
It must be noted that Madrid have been trying to sign Mbappe since his AS Monaco days in 2017-18 but the player decided to join PSG on a €180 million deal.
The deal was likely to happen last summer after the 25-year-old sent a letter to the French club saying that he would not extend his contract till 2025.
