Kylian Mbappe's future is one of the most eagerly awaited this summer. Real Madrid is the most likely destination, although Robert Pires believes that the French striker could once again reject the 'Merengues'.

Robert Pires, a former French player with a Premier League and La Liga background, is not so sure that Kylian Mbappe will play for Real Madrid next season once he finishes his contract with his current club at the end of the season.

"I'm sorry, Kylian, you weren't the first to say no to Real Madrid. I don't know what decision you will make, but I turned Madrid down because I had 2 other options. For sure if I don't have Arsenal and Juventus I would have gone straight to Real Madrid," he confessed on 'Carré'.

"I would like to see him at Liverpool. It's a great club, a family, good structure, no pressure, quiet supporters. I say Mbappe-Salah can be quite explosive. I think he is capable of turning Real Madrid down," Pires added.

Real Madrid are favourites to land the Paris Saint-Germain striker. However, he has come close on several occasions but has ultimately stayed at the Parc des Princes
