Former Brazilian star Ronaldo Nazario confirmed that the departure of Lionel Messi would harm the Barcelona team, and he also advised Real Madrid the best investment for the team's future by buying French star Kylian Mbappe.
"If Real Madrid has to make a big investment, they should think about the future," Ronaldo, who heads Spanish club Valladolid, said in a webinar. "Neymar is 28 years old, Mbappe is only 21, and as an investment it would make more sense to sign the younger players regardless." On the priority of one over the other. "
Ronaldo also expressed his hope that Neymar would win the European Champions League, saying, "He needs to win the Champions League. He has played well in the past few matches, especially in the final stage in Portugal, creating many chances to score, but he missed the calm to finish the attacks." Luck and calm can score in the final. "
The earth is earthly and time is my time 🙌

On the other hand, Ronaldo stressed that Messi's departure would not be good for Barcelona, and said, "It is unlikely that he will leave Barcelona at the present time, especially in light of the poor results. Messi is the main player for the team, and if I was responsible in Barcelona, I will not let him go." He has a wonderful and strong bond with the club and I don't think he will stop loving the team. "
