The reason Muppe rejected Real in 2017 was Cristiano Ronaldo

After a great season with Monaco, Mbappe had become the top target of the European teams.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, among other things, expressed a keen interest in the French phenomenon, which eventually moved to CHArc des Princes.

Although, according to reports, he agreed to join Real Madrid before giving up the deal. And his decision to reject Real Madrid was because of Ronaldo.

President Florentino Perez then viewed Mbuppa as the ideal substitute for the Portuguese star, but 20-year-old was not ready for that kind of responsibility.

So, Mbpe knew it would be impossible to replace a player who won the Golden Ball five times. /Periscopi/
