” They possess an exceptional coach and a president who has been in office for an extended period of time. I am of the opinion that his talent will mitigate the issue. He has demonstrated his capabilities.

I believe that he has the potential to become the next Golden Ball [Ballon d’Or] winner. Upon his entrance at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe will endeavour to fulfil the lofty expectations that have been placed upon him.

He will be eager to emulate or at least approximate Cristiano Ronaldo’s substantial legacy at the club in the years ahead.
