Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim hints Real Madrid and Arsenal target Kylian Mbappe could quit Ligue 1 champions, admitting: ‘Sometimes we lose players we want to keep’
Teen sensation earlier removed all any mention of French club from Twitter profile and is edging closer to world-record move
MONACO boss Leonardo Jardim has dropped a massive hint Kylian Mbappe could be set to leave the club this summer.
The 18-year-old France international is a target for Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, who are both ready to make a world-record offer.
While Arsenal are also keen.
Jardim had previously tried to convince the teen sensation to stay at Monaco, insisting a move to one of Europe’s top clubs can wait.
However, he appears to have accepted the inevitable, admitting that, while he doesn’t want to lose his top stars, sometimes it’s out of his hands.
When asked about Mbappe, he told French TV station : “I have not spoken to him.
“But he that we hope he stays with us.
“I believe he and the club will make the best decision.
“Every manager in the world wants to keep his best players, but it’s not always possible.
“Right now, it’s important to think 100 per cent about work, help young players grow and then see type of player he can become.”
Mbappe himself also hinted he could be ready to leave the Principality when he removed any mention of Monaco from his Twitter profile.
