Joan Laporta provides 4-word response when asked if Barcelona would sign Kylian Mbappe in the summer
Barcelona president Joan Loparta recently responded to a fan's question about La Blaugrana potentially signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe this summer.
Earlier this month, Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that Mbappe will leave Ligue 1 giants PSG at the end of the season as a free agent. Since the news broke, speculation has been rife about Mbappe's future.
A Barcelona fan recently asked Joan Loparta about the La Liga giants potentially signing the Frenchman in the summer transfer window. After hearing the question, Laporta laughed and gave a four-word reply, saying (via GOAL):
"You don't know anything!"
In the last couple of years, the Frenchman has been heavily linked with Barcelona's eternal rivals Real Madrid. According to Sporting News, Kylian Mbappe was a Real Madrid supporter while growing up. The 25-year-old's father, Wilfried Mbappe, had stated in 2016 (via France Football):
"He is a Real Madrid fan and his idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. He used to spend hours watching videos [of Ronaldo] on the internet."
Mbappe is undoubtedly one of the finest players in the world at the moment. The Frenchman has made 31 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain in the ongoing campaign, scoring 32 goals and providing seven assists.
