Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe teased fans with a club he would love to play for in his glittering career if he were to leave the French capital.
Mbappe attended the Best FIFA Football Awards 2022 on Monday in Paris and fell short of winning the Best FIFA Men’s Player prize.
The 24-year-old French forward scored 44 points, putting him ahead of former France teammate Karim Benzema but leaving him eight points shy of Lionel Messi.

Mbappe, who scored a hat-trick in the World Cup final against Messi’s Argentina side in Qatar, did secure his rightful place in the FIFA FIFPRO Men’s World 11.
The 2018 World Cup winner inked a lucrative new deal with PSG last summer, despite being heavily linked with a move to La Liga side Real Madrid.
After he arrived at the Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony, footage emerged of a fan asking Mbappe if he would ever consider a move to Serie A.

“So, thanks to them, I also cheered for the Rossoneri and watched a lot of AC Milan games.
“I always said, ‘If I play in Italy, it will be only at AC Milan.’ On the other hand, if I had said the opposite, they would have killed me.
“Seriously, I can only congratulate them on the Scudetto won by AC Milan, where I have many French friends and [Zlatan] Ibrahimovic, a legend that I respect a lot.”
