The change theater around Kylian Mbappe never ends! The Paris star explained why the Real deal broke, now Real boss Florentino Perez speaks.
Mbappe makes no secret of the fact that he wanted to join the royal team this summer. “Before the European Championship, I told Paris Saint-Germain that I didn't want to renew and after the European Championship that I wanted to leave,” he explains.
He also said: “Real made an offer. I thought my time at PSG was over. To go was the next logical step. If I had left this summer, it would only have been to Real.” The Spaniards offered to redeem 180 million euros, but Paris turned down the offer. Will the transfer now follow in the summer?
Real boss Perez told Spanish media: “In January we will have news about Mbappe. We hope that we will have settled the situation with Kylian by January 1st.” An announcement that the switch will happen even in winter?
Perez is now rowing back, he feels misunderstood. “My words about Mbappé have been misinterpreted. What I said is that we have to wait until next year to have news,” explains the employer of ÖFB legionnaire David Alaba. Perez also wants to keep the ball flat so as not to upset PSG, “with whom we have good relations.”
