French idol warmed up the bench for the Brazilian striker with passages through Flamengo, Palmeiras and Corinthians

The World Cup ended in December but many of the decisions taken during the World Cup are still reverberating in the world of football. Paris Saint-Germain recently discovered that they will need to get rid of some pieces to avoid being punished by UEFA’s ‘financial fair play’, and stars like Neymar could be traded next season.

Kylian Mbappé is considered one of the best players in the world today, even at the age of 20, he already has a World Cup title on his resume with the French national team, won in 2018 in Russia. And it seems that striker Vagner Love, now at Sport Recife, already predicted the boy’s success.

In an interview with DAZN, the striker revealed that he tipped the president of Monaco to sign Mbappé. “Talking to the president, he asked me which players who had gone up to the professional ranks would emerge. I, without a doubt, said: “That boy there, that Mbappé, is a joke. Moloque is fast”. Exactly 6 months later, the Frenchman would be playing in the Champions League with the principality club.

Vagner Love’s Luxury Reserve

The striker explained that the appearance of Mbappé accelerated his attempts to return to Brazil, after a period in reserve, “The speed he (Mbappé) had in training was absurd. Even before I left, even because the president of Monaco was a Russian, I was negotiating my departure. The coach wasn’t using me and Falcao (Garcia) was coming back, so I wouldn’t have much space”.
