Mbappe's reason for not signing for Real Madrid revealed by former Monaco vice-president Vasilyev

Kylian Mbappe will have a future with Real Madrid beyond his Paris Saint-Germain days as he wants to "go further" than any other player, says former Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev.

The France striker made the move to the capital from the principality outfit in 2017, initially on loan, after coming through the youth ranks at Monaco.

He helped Monaco to win Ligue 1 during his stint on the French Riviera, before repeating the feat once he headed north in both 2017-18 and 2018-19, as well as claiming the World Cup in Russia last year.
