The management of Real Madrid was made aware of Kylian Mbappé’s decision well before PSG.
Kylian Mbappé has communicated to his PSG managers his intention to change clubs next June when his contract comes to an end. Information that he transmitted to them Thursday morning, the day after the victory against Real Sociedad in the Champions League. And it turns out that the Ile-de-France management did not have the primacy of this news.
Mbappé did not do things in order
According to Mario Cortegana, Spanish journalist from The Athletic, Real knew last Tuesday that Mbappé had chosen to put an end to his Parisian adventure. Florentino Pérez was therefore aware before Nasser Al-Khelaifi of what the Bondyn prodigy had decided.
The PSG staff may not appreciate having taken second place in the eyes of their star player. Unless they have already moved on. In addition, they will be entitled to a nice consolation prize.
According to L’Equipe, Mbappé has agreed to pay part of his signing bonus to Real in Paris. In addition, the Ile-de-France club will be able to save around €100M linked to its loyalty bonus. Enough to digest this loss well.
