Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois believes the club's new signing is one of the best players in the world
Real Madrid's star goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois, has openly shared his enthusiasm about the arrival of France international Kylian Mbappe at the club.
Courtois believes that having Mbappe will be a significant boost for Real Madrid, and explained how the French forward's presence could improve the Champions League holders.
Courtois happy to have Mbappe
Speaking to TUDN, Courtois highlighted the immense value of having a player like Mbappe on their side rather than facing him as an opponent, saying, "Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and in the end, it’s better for him to be on your team than against you,"
“He is a player who can make a difference as we have with Bellingham, with Vinicius, and adding Mbappe to that will only help us.”
Courtois's comment is in line with sentiment within the team and among fans, who see Mbappe's arrival as a pivotal moment for Real Madrid. The goalkeeper expressed confidence that Mbappe's presence would strengthen the team, enhance their attacking capabilities, and contribute significantly to winning titles, adding "We will be even stronger with him.”
Integration and Team Dynamics
Beyond praising Mbappe's footballing prowess, Courtois also touched on the importance of integrating him smoothly into the team.
He mentioned that Mbappe has already been added to Real Madrid's WhatsApp group chat, saying, "We just have to find a way to play with him and help him. Mbappe has been added to our WhatsApp group chat.”
Courtois expressed optimism about the upcoming season, predicting that Mbappe would help the team shine and achieve significant success. "I think he’s going to help us win a lot of trophies and I’m sure it’s going to be a great year," he concluded.
Mbappe joined Real Madrid on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain this summer and has immediately become Los Blancos highest earner, putting pressure on his shoulders to succeed with the Spanish giants.
