Former Italian defender Fabio Cannavaro believes Spanish giants Real Madrid are always on the lookout for world superstars like Kylian Mbappe but stated it will be difficult to prize him away from a club like Paris St. Germain. Cannavaro believes that the La Liga giant, Real Madrid needs Kylian Mbappe so the forward can follow in Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps because that is actually what is affecting them and they need him to change the rhythm of their game.
"Real Madrid need players like Mbappé, a young star who could follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo," Cannavaro said. "It's normal that Madrid want to sign him but it also has to be taken into account that PSG's owners don't need the money; they are ambitious and they want to win the Champions League. I think it will be difficult for Madrid to get him. The president of PSG is a person who wants to win, I know them well and they will fight tooth and nail to keep Mbappé."
Cannavaro, who is currently the coach of Guangzhou Evergrande in China, also spoke about the possibility of returning to the Bernabéu in a coaching capacity under Zidane, whose number 5 he inherited when he signed for Real Madrid in 2006. "Of course I'd like to come back, that's what I'm working towards.
"My career as a player can help me in that respect but first I have to do well as a coach to get there. I have my staff and my system. I'm used to running a club, not just performing the role of a coach. I asked my president to build a training complex and it's beautiful. I have also helped with the new stadium and it'll be ready in three years. I've shown them everything from how to cut the grass to sorting out the dressing rooms."
Real Madrid are known to break their bank for top players time and time again but Cannavaro believes the young Frenchman might just be out of their reach.
