'MBAPPE CAN BE RONALDO'S HEIR'


REAL MADRID TOLD MBAPPE CAN BE RONALDO'S HEIR BY DUGARRY
13:36

 The former France international feels the Blancos will live to rue the decision if they opt against making a move for the exciting Monaco forward
Kylian Mbappe has been billed as Cristiano Ronaldo’s heir at Real Madrid, with Christophe Dugarry urging the Blancos to snap up the Monaco forward.

 The 18-year-old enjoyed a breakout season in 2016-17, with a 26-goal haul seeing him earn admiring glances from across Europe and a £100 million price tag.

 That valuation has done little to curb Madrid’s interest, as the La Liga champions are always in the market for global stars with the potential to shine for them on and off the field.

 Dugarry believes the Spanish giants need to do all they can to get a deal done as they could live to regret it if Mbappe ends up joining a European rival.

 The former France international told RMC on the future of his highly-rated countryman: “There is a real decision to be made.

 “But sincerely if Mbappe doesn’t go to Real Madrid, it will be a mistake by Real Madrid."

 He added: “He is the new gem of world football and with Ronaldo’s age, he must end up at Real Madrid," he added.

 “They are the best club in the world.”

 Mbappe is under contract at Monaco until 2019 and recently revealed that he will give no thought to his future until he returns from a well-earned summer break.

 He said: "We're going to go away with the family and we'll think about what's going to happen.

 “We have to sort it out, see what happens with the club too, because I'm under contract with a club, I'm not free. We'll see what's happening.”

 Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United have also been linked with moves for Mbappe, but Madrid are considered to be leading the chase.

LUKAKU BUY KILLS MOURINHO YOUTH CLAIMS

LUKAKU TO MAN UTD: SO MOURINHO DOES CARE ABOUT YOUNGSTERS AFTER ALL Kris Voakes 08:48 The United manager has been castigated for his short-termism in the past but his record shows he does generally buy young “I knew that was coming… Do you know how many young players I promote to the first team from academies? Forty-nine! If any one of you is interested I can give you [a list].” Jose Mourinho came armed with notes when he first arrived at Old Trafford as Manchester United so clear was he that people were going to ask about his general refusal to give youngsters a chance. Whether at Chelsea, Inter or Real Madrid, he had failed to satiate the desire to promote youth despite delivering major trophies with regularity. Academy players were perceived not to have been given a chance as the Portuguese’s short-term approach was given precedence over the need to give the club’s young assets the chance to show their worth. Millions were spent on the likes of Ricardo Carvalho, Hernan Cresp
