WHAT HAPPENED? The Portuguese forward jokingly asked Kylian Mbappe to join AC Milan if the French forward decides to leave PSG in the upcoming year.

WHAT THEY SAID: The 23-year-old was answering questions on The Residency, a new social networking platform intended to help fans ‘get up close and personal’ with ‘exclusive access to elite players’, and improve their interaction with fans. The likes of Joao Felix and Trevoh Chalobah are also on this application.

“Mbappe should come to Milan ahaha,” Leao stated on the app. He further wrote “He’s an AC Milan fan already.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: During the recently held FIFA Best Awards, the 2018 World Cup winner had expressed his admiration for Milan and called it the best club in Italy. Calling the Italian giants his favourite club, Mbappe said that if he would ever move to Serie-A, he would join the Rossoneri.
