5 reasons why Kylian Mbappe is a better option than Neymar for Madrid

#3 Cheaper and less controversial

Neymar has played for Barca

Despite the fact that Mbappe has gained more marketability after this World Cup, Neymar is the bigger star in this regard. As a result, the former Barcelona man will cost much more – both in terms of wages and transfer fee – than the teenage sensation.

On top of that, Neymar has already played for Madrid’s archrivals Barcelona and a move to the Santiago Bernabeu will be embroiled in controversy because of Neymar’s past allegiance.

While it might not be of the magnitude of Figo’s move to Madrid, it will still incur the wrath of the Catalans and further deteriorate the relationship between the two clubs. Furthermore, Neymar’s antics on a pitch – play-acting – and superstar ego could bring in more storm at the club.

And that is something they could avoid with Mbappe.
