Former Barcelona star Gary Lineker has shared his verdict on Kylian Mbappe's decision to snub Real Madrid to stay with PSG with a harsh reality check for Los Blancos.
Mbappe has opted to sign a three-year contract extension with the Ligue 1 champions, keeping him in the French capital until 2025. It means he will not be joining Madrid on a free transfer this summer, as many had expected.
His decision has provoked uproar in Madrid, with La Liga themselves releasing a statement confirming they would file an official complaint with UEFA. Los Blancos will now have to find a new Galactico to build their team around, with club president Florentino Perez having all but assured fans that Mbappe would be joining.
