Between Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappé, the love story turned into drama at the end of the collaboration. Between unpaid bills and behind-the-scenes frustrations, the top scorer in PSG history left everything behind for Real Madrid this summer. However, signing for life for Paris Saint-Germain was far from utopian. Explanations.
Kylian Mbappé shook the nets as a striker for PSG for seven seasons. Which allowed him to become the top scorer in the club's history with 256 goals. However, Mbappé did not leave on good terms with his management due to a financial dispute over €55 million in unpaid amounts by the PSGbut also for his sports management when he announced to the president Nasser Al–Khelaïfi his departure last February.
“If you want to stay, I’ll extend it and we’ll stay a little”
New star of Real Madrid since June 3, 2024, Kylian Mbappé however revealed in an interview with Mouloud Achour that he was ready to sign a new contract extension at PSG if that had been his brother's wish. Pour Click X, Mbappé assured that he could have sat on his dream of wearing the tunic of Real Madrid.
“That’s the thing that affected me the most. He hadn't asked for anything. He, his Real Madrid, was PSG. And indirectly, I took it away from him. He told me that he didn't want to stay, that it wasn't normal what they were doing to me. I told him: 'if you want to stay, I'll extend it and we'll stay a little'. I would have given up my dream of Madrid for him. Ethan, he's my brother, you can't touch that. What’s the point of signing for the best club in the world if you kill your brother’s career.”
“If I hadn’t been able to go to Real, I would have stayed at PSG all my life”
Pour beIN SPORTS, as part of the movement beUNITED, Kylian Mbappé had also revealed that without Real Madridhe could have made a lifelong commitment to Paris Saint–Germain.
“I spent 7 years at PSG, it was an honor. I think maybe I didn't say it enough, didn't show it enough, but I was always aware of where I was and the great club that PSG is. I always said it was the biggest club in France and one of the best in the world. I just left him to go to the biggest club in the world. I always said that it was the only club for which I would have left PSG. If I hadn't been able to go to Real, I would have stayed at PSG all my life. I had this dream of playing there and I'm very happy with that. But of course I always watch PSG matches, I have friends in the team and they are playing well at the moment.”
