REVEALED! Cristiano Ronaldo the reason Kylian Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid was impossible says Maradona

​Real Madrid didn’t sign Kylian Mbappe from Monaco last summer because of Cristiano Ronaldo, claims football legend Diego Maradona.

The 18-year-old was crucial for the Ligue 1 giants who won the title last season, and was linked with a move to Europe’s biggest clubs including Real, PSG, Manchester City and Barcelona.

It was reported last summer that Real held talks to sign the sensational teenager, but a move failed to materialise and he joined PSG on loan with the obligation of permanent move for £166 million.

Maradona has now revealed that he had told Real president Florentino Perez to sign Mbappe, as he hails alot the youngster.

But Perez told him that such thing is impossible to happen with Ronaldo around.

He told AS : “For me, Mbappe is the revelation of football. I think he can surpass many.

“Why did they not sign him? I told Florentino to sign Mbappe. I told him when we saw each other at Fifa.”

And when asked about Perez’s response, Maradona replied: “He told me…’but you know I have Cristiano’.”
