During his long-awaited interview given on Canal+ this Sunday evening, Kylian Mbappé returned to the end of his complicated story with PSG.
Kylian Mbappé has finally spoken. This Sunday evening in the Clique show on Canal+, the captain of the Blues took the floor to address many subjects, including his departure from PSG. After seven seasons spent in Paris, the kid from Bondy decided this summer to make his childhood dream come true by joining Real Madrid. A departure that did not go smoothly.
Disappointed with Mbappé's choice to leave, Parisian decision-makers made the decision not to extend his little brother Ethan, who was also at the end of his contract but who wanted to stay. Sad to see him pushed towards the exit, the “Kyk's” was then ready to link his future to that of his brother, offering him an extension at PSG so that he could realize his dream of playing for the club of his heart. But the 17-year-old midfielder refused and chose to continue his career at Losc.
“I would have given up my dream of Madrid for him”
« My little brother was known at seven years old. That made me crazy, said Mbappé. Being attacked by those close to me was the thing that affected me the most. He was accused of things because of me. His Real Madrid was PSG and it was me who took that away from him. I apologized for that. I even offered him an extension for that but he explained to me that no. You don't touch Ethan. What's the point of being the greatest if it's to kill your brother's career? What if I meet him on the field? I sweep it away. »
“I watch all PSG matches”
The 2018 world champion then looked back on his history with the capital club. “ PSG meant a lot to mehe assured. It was very intense in both good and bad ways. I had an amazing seven years despite the end. I mixed it up last year. I had conflicts with people because I defended my rights as a man and a player but that didn't represent the club. The supporters take it personally. They say to themselves 'Kylian never liked PSG'. I watch all the PSG matches, I know the club by heart, every grain of grass, every place in the Parc des Princes. »
“Nasser Al-Khelaïfi never let me go”
On the other hand, he was much less talkative about his former president, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, with whom things ended badly. “ I have close friends in the PSG team, even people from the staff. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi never let me go but I wish PSG the bestconfirmed Mbappé.
I hope one day they will win the Champions League but not now because I have to win it. »
