Viggo Mortensen warns Real Madrid: They don't need Mbappe, it's only for Florentino's ego
American actor criticized the possible arrival of the French forward
It is the most awaited news in the world of football, the future of Kylian Mbappe. With his departure from PSG confirmed, it is now the French player's turn to say where he will play next season.
Everything points to Real Madrid and his announcement is being eagerly anticipated. It is a signing that will revolutionize LaLiga and is generating a cascade of opinions. A few days ago it was the president of Manchester United who warned Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, of what the arrival of the French international will imply: «I would rather try to sign the next Mbappe, rather than spend a fortune trying to buy success. It's not that smart to buy Mbappe. Anyone can see that,» he said, adding that «it's much more difficult to find the next Mbappe, Bellingham or Roy Keane. The solution is not to spend a lot of money on a couple of big players. They have done that if you look at the last 10 years,» he said.
Now it has been Hollywood star Viggo Mortensen, who points out in statements to La Provence, that Real Madrid are fine without the Frenchman and that the PSG superstar missed his chance to join the LaLiga side two years ago. "We don't need Mbappe at Real Madrid," he said. «I think with Bellingham and Rodrygo we have what we need, he is not necessary. He should have come here two years ago. It's too late now.»
Lord of the Rings actor Mortensen, an avowed fan of Los Blancos and Argentine club San Lorenzo de Almagro, also criticized president Florentino Perez for signing the Frenchman: «It's just for president Florentino Perez's ego.»
