Iago Aspas believes Kylian Mbappe's imminent arrival at Real Madrid will be good for the whole of La Liga

Iago Aspas is nearing the end of his playing career but the 36-year-old shows no signs of hanging up his boots before his current Celta Vigo contract expires at the end of next season. This is despite being dropped on numerous occasions by coach Rafa Benitez.

Aspas is arguably one of Celta's greatest ever players, and recently reached the 200-goal mark for the Galicians. He wants to continue to add to it, and he has no intention of leaving the club prematurely, as he said. AS Diary.

“Since I returned to Celta, I said that I was going to spend as much time here as they wanted me. I have always thought of retiring here and this is not going to go out of my head. Yes, there was a lot of interest and uni few offers, but that never attracted my attention. I am very happy, calm at home with my family, my parents and friends. I never thought of moving from here.”

Aspas also spoke about Kylian Mbappe's imminent arrival at Real Madrid. The 24-year-old, seen as one of the best players in the world, is expected to sign a pre-contract with Los Blancos in the coming weeks, and Aspas believes this would be good news for La Liga as a whole . .

“It would be good for the League because the best players come, more repercussions and economic income will be generated. After that, the cake should be shared a little better so that other teams can get a little closer to Real Madrid.

“On paper it's very easy to say that Real Madrid they are going to sweep everything Mbappe, but that should be reflected on the field. PSG also had to be the bomb with Messi and Neymar, but they did not win the Champions League every year.

Aspas will hope that he can help Celtic Vigo take points off a Mbappe-less Real Madrid on Sunday, with the two teams meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu.
