Benzema: "Mbappe? I wish he had come this year"

One of the biggest stories of the last transfer window was Mbappe. The PSG star was constantly in the spotlight due to Madrid's growing interest in signing him.

Despite having offered up to 200 million euros, Real Madrid were left without the Parisian. Benzema, who said a few days ago that his compatriot will play for Madrid "sooner or later", spoke on the subject again on 'Téléfoot'.

"I would have liked Mbappe to have signed this year, but I know that one day or another he will be Real Madrid. The club wants him, that's no longer a secret," said 'Los Blancos' striker.

Likewise, the '9' referred to whether his friendship with him could influence his final decision. "We've spoken, not about that in particular, but we're still in contact."

Finally, Benzema, in the key of the French national team, was very happy to be back despite spending a long time. "With players of this quality, you don't need to work with them all year round. The important thing is that I'm here," he concluded.
