Griezmann to PSG pushes Mbappé to Real Madrid?

Griezmann to PSG pushes Mbappé to Real Madrid?

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann's possible move to PSG could reportedly push Kylian Mbappe to a move to Real Madrid, reports in Spain say.

The French World Cup winner Griezmann won the trophy with Mbappe in the side last year and has already confirmed that he wishes to leave Atleti this season. While he was expected to join Barcelona, it does not seem to be happening as things stand.

Sport in Spain state that Griezmann feels that PSG is the right place for him if a move to Barca does not transpire this summer. He sees the club as a backup if he doesn't have to stay in Spain.

It goes onto further say that this will push Mbappe away from PSG as the club are convinced that Griezmann is a bigger commodity for France than Mbappe currently is.

More than that, Mbappe's ties with Neymar aren't at their best and he is frustrated with the Brazilian presences at the club. Leonardo's signature would not help that. Real has always been a club that he has wanted to play for and Griezmann coming to Paris could allow him to do just that.
