PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN superstar Kylian Mbappe will make the move to Real Madrid “sooner or later”.
That’s the opinion of Brazil legend and former Barcelona ace Rivaldo who thinks the lure of LaLiga will prove too strong.

Mbappe has been touted as the next big football megastar, heir to the likes of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
He joined the French champs in a £166million deal from Monaco in September 2017, and not only has he become first choice there at the age of 21, but also for the France national team too.
This has alerted Spanish giants Real, who have so far failed to replace the goalscoring exploits of Cristiano Ronaldo since selling him to Juventus in 2018.
And Rivaldo expects the transfer to go through eventually.
CORONAVIRUS DELAYS DEAL
Speaking to Betfair, the 47-year-old said: “Of course, the French attacker would be a good signing for them and would be a big boost for the club.
“PSG won’t let him go that easily or for a low price, but football is a commerce and the player doesn’t want to stay much longer in French football, so I think sooner or later he would make his move to Spain.
“With all his talent and as a world champion for France, he would want to take a step forward in his career and play in one of the best leagues in the world.
“PSG are currently a Champions League contender, but the player will look for a bigger domestic challenge in LaLiga or the Premier League.”
But any move for the French wonderkid could be put on hold for a year – because of coronavirus.
With no football and a huge lack of income, clubs will struggle to fork out to land their transfer targets.
That is no different at Los Blancos who had made the Paris Saint-Germain forward their priority after the player admitted his future could lie elsewhere.
Real have conceded defeat that they won’t be able to secure a deal until the end of next season when they have boosted the coffers.
