TransferNews: Messi tells Barcelona to sign €180m Mbappe

 

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has told the club to beat rivals Real Madrid to the signing of €180m Kylian Mbappe before the end of the transfer window.

Don Balon also noted that Real Madrid was interested in the player, with Los Blancos in need of a superstar after selling Ronaldo to Juventus.

The newspaper added that Messi does not want to see Barcelona miss out on bringing Mbappe to Camp Nou.
