PHOTO: The Reason Why Real Madrid Hold Advantage Over Arsenal & Man City in Race for Monaco Star

Published on: 22 February 2017

Kylian Mbappe has become the hottest name on everyone's lips, having seriously impressed for Monaco this season.


The 18-year-old French striker garnered even more attention this week after his goal-bearing performance during Monaco's 5-3 reverse against Manchester City in the Champions League, and should be the subject of several bids in the summer.

City, who saw his talent first hand, are thought to be quite keen on signing the youngster, while Premier League rivals Arsenal are reportedly preparing a bid as well.


La Liga giants and current holders of the Champions League trophy Real Madrid are also believed to be a potential suitor. And the Spanish side may justhave the edge on other admirers, as it seems like the player is a huge admirer of Los Blancos himself.

Since his exploits at the Etihad, photos of the player - showing just how much he loves Madrid - have been popping up on social media.


The first shows him, in what should be his bedroom, surrounded by Madrid posters, while the second shows him posing with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The photos were both taken a few years back, but it's doubtful Mbappe's affinity has swayed that much.
