Never say never
Kylian Mbappé has revealed that the only Italian side he would ever consider joining is AC Milan.
Mbappé was asked by an Italian fan attending the 2023 FIFA Best Awards if he would move to Serie A in the future.
“If I come to Italy it’s only for Milan,” the Frenchman replied.

The Paris Saint-Germain star has been a long-term admirer for the Rossoneri given that there is a photo of him wearing a 2010-2011 AC Milan home kit as a boy.
Last year during an interview with Gazzetta, he said: “My connection with Milan is special.
“As a child, I had an Italian nanny and I spent a lot of time with her family, all Milan fans. So, thanks to them, I also cheered for the Rossoneri and watched a lot of Milan games.”
His future at PSG is in doubt again with some reports suggesting that the 23-year-old is not prepared to sign the optimal contract extension in the summer, which will leave him with just 12 months left on his current deal.
Real Madrid are supposedly planning to reignite their interest to try and persuade the forward to make the move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
He almost joined the LaLiga side last season after describing his relationship with PSG as “completely broken” before making a dramatic U-turn and signing a bumper three-year contract instead
Los Blancos are eyeing up a long-term replacement for Karim Benzema however The Athletic have said that should they fail in their pursuit, they will look to Erling Haaland of Manchester City instead.
