Manchester United co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, recently made headlines with his comments on the potential transfer of Kylian Mbappe. The Paris Saint-Germain forward, 25, revealed his decision to leave the French club at the end of the season, creating a frenzy among top European clubs vying for his signature.
Ratcliffe, however, made it clear that he is not in favor of spending big on Mbappe, stating that it wouldn’t be “clever” to acquire the superstar. Instead, he believes in focusing on discovering the next Mbappe or other promising young talents.
The co-owner emphasized the importance of investing in long-term strategies rather than short-term gains. He discussed his involvement with Manchester United and hinted at potential plans for the club under the leadership of new chief executive, Omar Berrada.
Mbappe’s final league game for PSG will be against Toulouse at the Parc des Princes, marking the end of an era for the French star. As clubs prepare to make their moves in the upcoming transfer window, Ratcliffe’s stance on Mbappe’s transfer adds an interesting twist to the ongoing saga.
