Former Barcelona striker Thierry Henry has praised Real Madrid's transfer policy in recent years.
"You have to pay tribute to Real Madrid for their ability to build a team while retaining some of the old guard who can tell the young ones what to do.
When Mbappe goes there, you will have a team that can dominate Europe and their league for the next six to seven years because they are all young players. The time of Casemiro, the time of Özil, the time of Varane has passed.
But if you think about the trio of Modric, Kroos and Casemiro, they sold the youngest of them. Why sell the youngest? Because they saw that he could be replaced by Valverde, Tchouameni and Camavinga. You have to give them credit because they know how to get rid of the players I mentioned earlier, who were important to this team," the Daily Mail quoted Henri as saying.
