“I want Mbappe in my team. Everyone is free to make their own decision. We are a big club with a magnificent project. All great players must go through Real Madrid at some point in their career, but right now, I want him at my side.

“I personally want to play with the best in the world, and Mbappe is among the best. I also have a great desire to play with Neymar, whom I have played against many times when he played for Barcelona,” Sergio Ramos explained.

The former Sevilla defender also heaped a lot of praise on Real Madrid and added that he would never celebrate a goal against Madrid. Ramos has a lot of love for Madrid fans who idolized him and loved him during his long tenure of over 15 years.

“I am very happy with the step I have taken. Looking back is wrong. I am adventurous, and leaving a comfort zone is always important,” Ramos concluded.
