A taboo topic. In the Paris Saint-Germain locker room, pronouncing the name of Kylian Mbappé is not prohibited. Nor is answering journalists’ questions about him. But we feel that the answers of the teammates of KM7 are rather smooth, so as not to be vague. Only Marquinhos dared to say more or less what was on his heart when the Parisians arrived in Osaka as part of the summer tour.
A taboo subject at PSG
“Even in Japan, you (journalists) are there with your questions. It’s delicate. He’s an exceptional player, very strong, but it’s a decision that goes beyond us players. This is a question for management. We always want to have the great players by our side, I hope we will have a good solution so that he can come back and help us for this season. An exit which was not appreciated by the leaders of the Ile-de-France region and by Doha.
For them, the 24-year-old striker betrayed them and they don’t want to hear about it anymore, unless he extends his contract. Which is not at all in his plans. Sidelined, the Frenchman accepts his fate even if he does not understand since he believes he has done everything correctly. Sent with the lofters, he continues to train. He also takes advantage of the free time he has to rest. This weekend, he was also in Sardinia. There, he met Rodrygo.
The Madrid locker room talks about it
The Brazilian from Real Madrid did not fail to immortalize this moment and shared his snapshot on his social networks with the message “KM“accompanied by flames. Inevitably, this set fire to Spain and France. Same thing after the words of Vinicius Junior concerning the tricolor striker. Indeed, a video of the Real Madrid player leaked this weekend. We In it, Vini Jr is seen chatting in a video call with a supporter and Juni Calafat (Real Madrid youth scouting manager).
And when the fan asked him if he would ever like to see Kylian Mbappé in Madrid, the Auriverde international replied: “We hope he comes. Yes, we hope so. Tell Juni to recruit him (laughs)”. And Juni Calafat replied with a laugh: “You are spending all the money in Ibiza, there will be no more for Mbappé”. Images where the protagonists seem to be laughing. But that inevitably made react in Spain where one dreams of an arrival of the French superstar.
He is expected at the Casa Blanca
Moreover, within the merengue locker room, we hope so too. Report explains that like Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr, the rest of the Real Madrid players would like the Frenchman to join them. They think it’s the perfect time for him to sign for the Casa Blanca after Karim Benzema’s departure to Al-Ittihad. They believe they need a “killer” up front and they see him as the player capable of taking over and leading the attack. The locker room is conquered and in dream, especially his compatriots Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouameni. Carlo Ancelotti too.
Report explains that the Mister also thinks that KM7 would be an asset, although he has said publicly that recruitment is over for this summer. He thinks his team needs a striker. Mbappé could therefore be the solution to his problem. Report clarified that even Real Madrid employees are panicking behind the scenes. “Everything is going to happen this year”, said a club source. But the ball is in the court of Florentino Pérez, who does not want to miss his shot. The president would prefer to recruit him free in 2024 ideally, just to avoid paying money to PSG. But he may have to reconsider his position since all the lights are green this summer.
