Sarkozy’s denial of Mbappé
“ You know, I’ve been going to the Parc des Princes since I was 15. And even when I was President of the Republic I went to see matches. I have popular tastes like the public, I like what the public likes. I am a child who dreamed of one day meeting famous people,” said Sarkozy, often present at the Parc des Princes, in comments provided to Antena 3.
Questioned on the extension of Mbappé, Sarkozy firmly denied: “”No! No! No no no“, he thundered. “ I didn’t play any part but I was happy he stayed. I was happy because Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world, it’s an example. »
“I am not Kylian’s spokesperson, I know him and I like him”, added the former head of state. “I like Real Madrid, I often go to watch the matches and I know Florentino Perez well who I admire. But Mbappé remained in Paris. For what? It does not matter. What’s important is that he stayed. »
