Barcelona president Joan Laporta has expressed his concerns over Kylian Mbappe’s confirmed transfer to Real Madrid, describing it as “not good news” for Barça fans.
Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, Laporta said, “As a Barça fan, it’s not good news to see Mbappé go to Real Madrid. But to be honest, I prefer our strategy to trust a project with players produced and made in La Masia. I respect our rivals but I keep our philosophy.”
Mbappe will join Real Madrid as a free agent and is set to wear the No. 9 shirt at the Bernabeu, having agreed to a five-year deal.
