Ex-Barcelona striker Henry: Mbappe to Real Madrid not guaranteed

Former Barcelona striker Thierry Henry insists Kylian Mbappe's move to Real Madrid is no certainty.

The PSG star is expected to join Real in a Bosman transfer this summer.

But France Olympics coach Henry told Le Parisien: "I haven't talked about it with Kylian yet. But what do you want me to tell him? 'Dear Kylian, will you fight with your club to come to the Olympics?'. I can't.

"Be careful, we are speculating here without knowing whether Madrid will be his destination. The only thing we know about Kylian is that he will leave PSG. What is certain is that if he goes to Real Madrid, we already know that they won't let their players go."

Henry added: "Kylian can go wherever he wants, he will make the right decision. Whether it is at Real Madrid, as everyone thinks, or anywhere else. Who knows for sure the move to Real Madrid could be a misunderstanding? Kylian will be good wherever he goes, we are talking about a monster."
