Mbappe told to snub Real Madrid and stay at PSG by Nasri

Nasri, who joined Arsenal from Marseille in 2008, further claimed that he would have never left Les Phoceens had they been owned by Qataris at that time.

Speaking to JDD via Le10Sport, Nasri said, “Yes, even in world football. If he leaves, it will leave a hole, but with the budget, they will be able to recruit other players – who will not be Mbappe, that is clear. But today, he has such importance, whether in the French team or with his club.

“Already two years ago, I said he was the best player in the world. I still think so. He is from the Paris region: I, in his place, I would stay at PSG, instead of going to Madrid, to win the fiftieth Champions League for Real. If OM had been owned by Qatar when I was at the club, I would never have left. I think it is better to be the king in your village.”

Recently AS reported that the France national team captain has decided to forego the loyalty bonus that he was promised by PSG and in return the club won’t create a hindrance in his way when joins Los Blancos in the summer of 2024. The Spanish giants, though, later confirmed on Saturday that they have not been in touch with the PSG star.

Luis Enrique’s side will be next seen in action on Tuesday in a crucial Champions League fixture against AC Milan.
