The Mbappé soap opera was once again followed with attention within Real Madrid. And some Madrid players were once convinced of his arrival this summer.
Real Madrid will still have to wait before welcoming Kylian Mbappé. Once again, the tricolor striker seemed very close to signing with the Merengues. Consequence of the conflict which opposed him to the Parisian leaders during the summer and which earned him to be deprived of the tour in Japan and South Korea and then to be put aside from the group. The champions of France then seemed ready to let go of their star striker.
But the Madrid leaders have not moved and relations between the tricolor world champion and the capital club have suddenly warmed up: despite his contractual situation which poses the risk of a free departure next summer, Kylian Mbappé could therefore stay at PSG. An epilogue that some Madrid players did not expect.
” I thought he was coming. As long as he’s not on the Japan tour… And I think Real Madrid was his option to go to join the club, confided Dani Carvajal at a press conference on Tuesday, confirming that the soap opera has fascinated the merengue locker room: “I’m not going to lie to you and tell you that there were no discussions, but there were all kinds of opinions in the pre-season conversations after dinner. »
The Spanish defender nevertheless hopes that it is still only a postponement. “He is one of the best and the best must play for Real Madrid”, he indeed launched before revealing that the Bondynois never raise the subject with the French of Real Madrid, Eduardo Camavinga or Aurélien Tchouameni. The latter did not escape, either, questions about Kylian Mbappé during his appearance in front of the media, acknowledging that he had indeed considered his arrival at Real this summer. And this before kicking into touch. “He is at PSG today, we respect that. We are not going to talk about it more than that because he is a PSG player. Good season to him. And we are very happy with what we have today,” he said..
