Pires: I can see Mbappe rejecting Real Madrid for Liverpool

France World Cup winner Robert Pires has questioned whether Kylian Mbappe will join Real Madrid.

The striker is expected to leave PSG for Madrid this summer.

But Pires says: “I'm sorry Kylian, you weren't the first to say no to Real Madrid. I don't know what decision he will make, but I rejected Real because I had two other options. Surely if I didn't have Arsenal and Juve I would have gone straight to Real. That's for sure."

He continued: “I would like to see him in Liverpool. It's a great club, family, good structure, no pressure, calm fans... And I say that Mbappé-Salah can be quite explosive.

"I think he is capable of rejecting Real Madrid."
