Florentino Pérez: “I never said it was over between Mbappé and Real”

Real Madrid’s number one target since last summer, Kylian Mbappé finally extended to PSG while the Merengues seemed to hold the rope to finally attract the French striker. Several weeks after its outcome, Florentino Pérez returned to the soap opera, assuring that the file was “already forgotten”. “Mbappé had a dream, we tried to buy it last summer. And it took a year. He continued to want to come and 15 days before everything changed, said the Madrid president on the program El Chiringuito. Because of political pressure and for economic reasons. “Florentino Pérez was surprised by the intervention of Emmanuel Macron as well as the concessions made by PSG: “I did not see the same Kylian Mbappé that we wanted. I can’t imagine the King of Spain calling a player. It influenced him a lot. »
Bitter, the Spanish leader took the opportunity to reaffirm the dimension of his club while tackling the Parisian striker: “The Mbappé who does not want to participate in sponsorship operations is not the Mbappé I want. No player is above the club. Me, I believed in Mbappé who had a dream. Without forgetting to keep the door open for all that: “I never said it was over forever between Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid. In three years, a lot can change. »
