Pep Guardiola had contacted Mbappe and Monaco, but the 18 year-old made it clear he only wanted a move to Real. [Marca]

Like always, we never wanted him ;)

We nicked Jesus from out under the noses of Barca. Wouldn't it be absolutely superb, though, if we nicked Mbappé from out under the noses of Real? What a message that would send out to the world… Get on that phone, Pep, use your persuasive powers.

I find this hard to believe tbh, he's 18, he would have been 6 or 7 when Zidane retired.

That's a fair point but he's said it himself numerous times.

Zidane is a complete legend in France. Everyone from adults down to kids knows what he did in the WC final in 98, not to mention against Brazil in 2006.

My facetious earlier post notwithstanding, I really think we're up against it with this one. It would be the most astonishing coup of the whole window, by anyone, anywhere. Just don't think it's going to happen.

I really want this to happen but with his age and the league he's in there is no guarantees he could hit the ground running in the prem. maybe he is better off going to Spain

I'd be saying the opposite to him. The Prem will toughen you up ready to dominate in Spain. Look at Ronaldo/Bale. So do 3-4 years here then you can have your move.

Then i'd pop a £400m buy out clause in :-)

I think he's made up his mind though sadly. I'm sure he's gonna be a superstar but you never know

Yeah, always a tall order going up against Real. They are the dominant club right now. Convinced our time will come though, with or without Mbappe.

I do wonder if Madrid fans are saying they don't want him because they have too many attacking players.

Not sure we would have bid for a player knowing he preferred a move elsewhere...We either didn't bid again or he didn't say "No" to Pep IMO.
