Ex-Monaco star Cisse: Real Madrid move perfect for Mbappe

Former AS Monaco midfielder Edouard Cisse believes Kylian Mbappe could immediately make it at Real Madrid.

The teenage striker is a confirmed target for Real president Florentino Perez.

Cisse told Le Parisien: "Signing for Real would not be such a bad operation. Zinédine Zidane will know how to use him intelligently and Real is a club that knows how to manage young people.

"As in his season in Monaco, Kylian Mbappé will be able to play twenty-thirty minutes at the beginning and if he succeeds, then he will play the big games from January. The pressure will be on the shoulders of Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema, he will not be the star of the club, despite the price of his transfer. He will be able to develop quietly, unlike Pogba who was number 1 at Manchester United.

"And when arriving so early in Madrid, Mbappé will have the advantage of knowing the place when Ronaldo or Bale decide to leave. There, he could become the head of the gondola."
