Barcelona president Joan Laporta has admitted that Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid is “not good news.”
Madrid have confirmed that Mbappe will be joining them as a free agent.
Laporta, speaking to Mundo Deportivo, said: “As a Barça fan, it’s not good news to see Mbappé to Real Madrid.
“But to be honest, I prefer our strategy to trust a project with players produced and made in La Masia.
“I respect our rivals but I keep our Philosophy.”
Mbappe will wear the No. 9 shirt at the Bernabeu after agreeing a five-year deal.
