Barcelona president Laporta scoffs at Real Madrid Mbappe deal: Locker room trouble

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has scoffed at Real Madrid's imminent deal for PSG star Kylian Mbappe.

Mbappe is expected to join Real in a Bosman transfer this summer.

Laporta, however, insists he doesn't envy Real, stating to Mundo Deportivo: "I don't envy Real Madrid signing Mbappe.

"I think they have a problem. You have to sell a player (if Mbappe arrives), right? Because they're not both going to play in the same place and they're also very strong players.

"And speaking of the numbers that will be there, this distorts the locker room for sure. That's not a gift."
