The president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, assured that PSG striker Kylian Mbappé succumbed to “political and economic pressure” to renew with the French clubin an interview with the program ‘El Chiringuito’.
The ‘political pressure’
“He always stated that his dream was Madrid and about fifteen days before (announcing his decision), the situation changed, I think due to political and economic pressure,” Pérez said in the early hours of Thursday on the television network ‘ Mega’.
“It went in like a lock and it should have come out so it was easier to unlock”estimated the president of Real Madrid, for whom “the pressure that has cost him the most is political pressure.”
“I guess the money too and a leadership regarding the sports project, that makes him change his mind and take the path that he believes is best to get out of a situation that I understand would be very blocked”he added.
Mbappé announced on May 22 that he would renew with PSG after many media had taken his signing for Real Madrid for granted.
“When you get into a panic situation like this, you try to get out the way so that the panic ends before, I even understand it, because I don’tor it is easy for the President of the Republic to call you (Emmanuel Macron)“Perez added.
“Here it does not fit in the head that the King of Spain called a club… It is a very difficult thing to understand”, assured the president of Real Madrid.

‘This Mbappé is not my Mbappé’
Florentino Pérez framed this action in the relationship between Qatar, where PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is from, and France.
“You have to understand that there are two states, one is Qatar and the other is France, and they have a relationship and Qatar asks the French president for something… and I understand it that way because if not, it’s impossible”Florentino Perez said.
“Since the year 2000 that I have been here, there is no precedent for a President of the Republic to call… and say it publicly… and besides, I think it does not look good with the rest of the clubs in France,” said the merengue president. . Nevertheless,
Pérez did not close the door on Mbappé. “Not now, because this Mbappé is not my Mbappé”said Florentino Pérez when asked if he still dreams of seeing him in a Real Madrid shirt.
“Now, if he changes, life takes a thousand turns, but I, this Mbappé who refuses to do a publicity act of sponsorship with his team, I don’t want him,” he said, insisting that “no player throughout the history of Real Madrid has been above the others”.
A player “can be better or worse, but this is a team game, one for all and all for one, we are not going to make any exceptions that put the management of the group at risk,” Pérez assured.
“I wish him the best possible thing for him if he stays there, I have nothing against him, but I believed the dream and so did he,” he added. “But sometimes dreams cannot be realized due to external causes”Perez concluded.
