In 2015, AS Monaco allegedly offered the services of Kylian Mbappé to Benfica, but the Portuguese club refused to welcome him, considering him too weak.
Everyone is tearing up Kylian Mbappé! Considered one of the best players on the planet today, the player should be a major player in the next summer transfer window as his contract with PSG expires at the end of the season. Real Madrid has already made an appointment and could accelerate in this file from the beginning of January. The FC Barcelona would also monitor the situation of Mbappé according to AS. But while the battle is likely to be intense in this matter, another European club is certainly biting its fingers at the moment.
Benfica failed Mbappé in 2015
As the Correio recounts da Manhâ this Saturday, Kylian Mbappé could have joined Portugal in 2015. That year, AS Monaco had targeted three young Benfica players: Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva and Ivan Cavaleiro . And in an attempt to lower the transfer price, the Monegasque club wanted to bring promising young players like Kylian Mbappé , then 16, into the operation. Benfica youth coach João Tralhão had studied his profile, but ultimately decided not to sign him, considering that Ivan Cavaleiro was much stronger. A choice that the trainer must surely regret.
