The fuzz went viral in a video chatting with Mario Ruiz, a journalist from the newspaper Acein which he explained the anecdote of his talk with Florentino Pérez during a FIFA awards ceremony in 2017. In it, he recommended the signing of the French attacker, something that makes sense over time.
Diego Armando Maradona was a great footballer during his active years, passing through clubs such as Argentinos Juniors (1997-1981), Boca Juniors (1981-1982 and 1995-1997), FC Barcelona (1982-1984), SSC Napoli (1984- 1991), Seville (1992-1993) or Newell’s Old Boys (1993-1994). In addition, his journey in the Argentine team (1977-1994) made him reach the top and deserve the consideration of legend to be among the best in history.
Although he had a fairly discreet career as a coach, his understanding of football was indisputable. So much so, that he himself explained a conversation with the president of Real Madrid during a FIFA awards ceremony in 2017. At that time, the meringues had Cristiano Ronaldo, an important Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema or Marco Asensio emergent. That was something key for the maximum president in the dialogue that El Pelusa assures that they had:
“I told Florentino: Sign Mbappé. I told him when we met at FIFA. He told me he had Ronaldo, this one… Sign Mbappé, who cares. Sell Bale”.
The French attacker had been on loan to Paris Saint Germain for a few months when that meeting took place, since he refers to the The Best Awards gala held in October 2017. Bondy’s had been key in an AS Monaco that was proclaimed champion of Ligue 1 and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.
In the Parc des Princes it took months to execute the purchase option (135M) agreed with the Monegasques and they decided to have him in the long term. After 11 titles in five years, which could be 12 with the league competition and 13 if they are crowned in Europe, rumors indicate that Diego Armando Maradona’s advice could be followed by Florentino Pérez with a footballer who will be a free agent in July if does not renew before.
