Atletico Madrid striker Antoine Griezmann has commented on the potential transfer of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid.
"Mbappe will be well received in Spain, and I will be happy to play against him in the derby," Griezmann said.
It is important to note that Mbappé has not yet signed a contract with the "Los Blancos" (Real Madrid). An official announcement of Mbappé's transfer to the Madrid club will only be possible if it is confirmed that PSG and Real Madrid will not face each other in the current UEFA Champions League campaign.
Mbappé has been playing for PSG since 2017. The 25-year-old footballer has won 13 trophies with the Parisians. This season, the forward has made 31 appearances in all competitions, scoring 32 goals and providing 7 assists.
Griezmann's comments suggest he believes Mbappe would be welcomed in Spain, should a move to Real Madrid go through. The Atletico Madrid player also expressed his eagerness to compete with Mbappe in the Madrid derby, a highly anticipated clash between the two fierce rivals.
Mbappe's potential move to Real Madrid has been the subject of intense speculation, as the French superstar's contract with PSG is set to expire at the end of the current season. The outcome of this transfer saga will have significant implications for the dynamics of Spanish football, as well as the futures of Mbappe and Griezmann's respective clubs.
