Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) is officially a Real Madrid player. But the Frenchman could have settled in the Spanish capital much earlier. Indeed, he had a one-week trial with the Casa Blanca when he was 13 years old. Moreover, he played in a team that included a certain Luca Zidane. Zizou’s son, who speaks French, helped him integrate. But in the end, KM9 did not sign with Madrid at that time.
Asked by DAZNLuca Zidane, visibly impressed, returned to this episode. “In the Madrid youth team there are very good players, but he looked different. He had that power and was technically very good. You could tell he had something extra (…) He didn’t stay for non-sporting reasons.” A few years later, the former PSG player finally joined the Merengues.
