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.”

“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.”
