The – stormy – divorce between Kylian Mbappé and PSG was paid at a high price. This is particularly true for the capital club, ordered by the League to pay some 55 million euros in salaries and bonuses to its former player. But this also applies to the Mbappé clan. Not only because Kylian Mbappé was affected by this conflicting situation but also because Ethan Mbappé had to resolve to leave the Rouge et Bleu.
After the announcement by his big brother of his upcoming departure, the youngest Mbappé had nevertheless been very clear in front of Luis Enrique. “I’m a nice guy, I’m staying at PSG! “, he told him, hoping to sign his first professional contract with his training club. But that was without taking into account the thirst for revenge of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who put an abrupt end to the discussions surrounding his signing. An episode also badly experienced by Kylian Mbappé.
“It’s the thing that affected me the mosthe confided in Clique. He (Ethan) didn’t ask for anything. His Real Madrid was PSG. What Real represented for me, his childhood dream, was PSG. But indirectly, it was me who took that away from him. Well, it’s not me, but I felt that way. »
“Ethan, you can’t touch it”
“I apologized to him all the time. He said to me: ‘No, no, what they did to you, I don’t want to stay‘ »he continued, ensuring that he was even ready to stay in Paris for his little brother: “At one point, I even told him: ‘If it really bothers you, I’ll extend it again and you stay, we’ll stay here. If it really weighs too much on you.’ He told me: ‘No, never in life. I don’t want to stay here. What they did to you, what they did to me, it’s not normal. If he had said to me: ‘Kylian, it really weighs on me’, I would have abandoned my dream of Madrid and I would have stayed for him. »
And Kylian Mbappé continues by emphasizing the importance of his role as a big brother. “I could stay politically correct, but Ethan, you don’t touch eh,
he added. It’s Ethan. Ethan, it can’t be touched. What’s the point of being the greatest, if you kill your own brother’s career? I said to myself: ‘You signed for the best club in the world, everyone says you’re the best, but you weren’t even able to save your brother’s career.’ »
However, Kylian Mbappé has warned: he will not give him any gifts if he were to meet him on the pitch. “I’m sweeping it!” We were supposed to play (during Lille-Real Madrid in early October in the Champions League, Editor’s note), but he was injured the day before the match…”he asserted.
