Kylian Mbappe has promised that if he moves to Serie A in the future, he will only join AC Milan.

Although Mbappe was a childhood fan of Real Madrid, the France attacker’s favourite Italian club is the Rossoneri.

He previously said of MIlan: “As a child, I had an Italian nanny and I spent a lot of time with her family, all Milan fans.

“So, thanks to them, I also cheered for the ‘Rossoneri’ and watched a lot of Milan games.

“My connection with Milan is special.”

What did Mbappe say about Milan at FIFA Best ceremony?

And during The Best FIFA Men’s Player ceremony in Paris on Monday, Mbappe was asked which Serie A club he would join in the future.

“If I come to Serie A, it’s only to AC Milan,” Mbappe replied.

Messi subsequently won The Best FIFA Men’s Player prize. Mbappe finished second and Karim Benzema third.

The chances of a move anytime soon to Milan seem slim due to the financial weaknesses of Serie A clubs right now.

It is generally expected that Mbappe’s next club will indeed be Real Madrid.

Mbappe had seemed destined to join Real Madrid last summer but completed a dramatic turnaround by penning a two-year extension with PSG at the end of May 2022.

But Mbappe’s new deal expires next year and unless he activates his option to extend it by a further year - within the next four months - then PSG could opt to cash in on him this summer.

This would be to avoid losing Mbappe on a free transfer in 2024, with the 24-year-old seemingly unwilling to extend as it stands.
