Mortensen's Bold Opinion
In an interview with La Provence, Mortensen, expressed his straightforward view on the potential transfer of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid.
In his words, "Real Madrid does not need Kylian Mbappé. It’s just for the ego of President Florentino Perez.' Mortensen further added, 'Me, I think that with Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo, we have what we need, it’s not necessary. He should have come to Real two years ago. It’s too late."
Disrupting Squad Balance
Despite Mbappé's stellar footballing abilities, Viggo Mortensen's stance aligns with Barcelona president Joan Laporta's belief that Mbappé's arrival could potentially disrupt the harmony of the current Real Madrid squad.
The actor, known for his roles in 'Lord of the Rings' and collaborations with director David Cronenberg, fears that such a high-profile signing might upset the balanced team dynamics meticulously crafted by the club.
