AEW star and Real Madrid superfan Miro explains why Ancelotti should sign Mbappe and compares Bellingham to Zidane
AEW superstar and Real Madrid fan Miro has urged his favourite club to splash the cash on Paris Saint-Germain megastar Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe’s contract with PSG runs out in 2024 and he has informed the club he will not be triggering his player clause, which would extend his deal until 2025.
The French champions don’t want to risk losing him for free and Real have been linked, however a potential bid could cost up to a staggering £250million.
But Miro, formerly known as Rusev in WWE, is adamant that would still prove to be an incredible investment as Real would make a large profit out of the France international’s shirt sales.
The Bulgarian, who competes at AEW Collision with elite stars like CM Punk and Chris Jericho, added that manager Carlo Ancelotti needs an elite striker after Karim Benzema’s move to Al-Ittihad.
The 37-year-old wrestler also claims it will be significantly harder for Los Blancos to sign the 24-year-old next year as he will be a free agent and their rivals will have a higher chance of hijacking a deal.
Miro told SunSport when asked if signing Mbappe would be smart business for Real: “I think it’s absolutely 100 per cent great. First of all, I love Mbappe. I love Madrid. And I already bought my new shirt.
“And I’m pretty sure millions and millions and millions of people are going to buy his shirt alone so it’s like what we did with David Beckham. So I think it’s smart business.
“He may be expensive, but so is CM Punk making a lot of money, right? So is Chris Jericho. So as all these guys are making a lot of money. Why? Because they must be that good. They must be doing something right.
“And Mbappe is very young. He’s world class. We need a central striker clearly. And if they asked me, I’m 100 per cent yes, let’s do it now. Because there is no guarantee that he will come next year.
“If we can have him now, let’s get him now and be over with.”

Miro is also confident Jude Bellingham can be a big hit at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Bellingham, who only recently turned 20 years old, joined Real following a staggering £115m deal with Borussia Dortmund, which made him the most expensive British player of all time.
The England international will be wearing Zinedine Zidane’s legendary No5 jersey and the ex-TNT Champion hinted he can emulate Zizou’s success as he already shows similar skills.
Miro added when asked if Bellingham can emulate Luka Modric, Toni Kross or Casemiro in midfield: “I sure hope so. That’s another young kid, what is he like 19 years old?
“Clearly his favorite player is Zidane and you can tell right away, he’s calm, he’s gracious, he knows how to protect the ball.
“And once again, he’s 19 years old, and I want you to show me in professional wrestling, in basketball some 19-year-old that can do all these crazy things.”
