Florentino sets date to sign Mbappé

“Kylian has once again demonstrated his great personality. His statements show that Madrid acted honestly and with transparency when it presented its offer to PSG at the end of August. Kylian follows the roadmap set for his signing.” This is how satisfied an important person within the white club was today with AS when assessing the important step taken by the Parisian star of PSG, putting the cards face up on what really happened last summer, exposing Leonardo , determined to put Madrid as a club without style that allegedly had only approached the closing of the market to take Mbappé in a bad way. Florentino Pérez himself, in an act held today in the editorial office of El Debate, put the date and wish in one piece: “In January we will have news from Mbappé. We hope that on January 1 everything can be solved.” Then, on Radio Montecarlo he wanted to qualify those published words: “My words have been misinterpreted. What I have said is that we have to wait until next year to have news and that, always with respect to PSG, with which we have a good relationship “.

Mbappé unmasked Leonardo when he confessed that since the end of July PSG knew from his own mouth that he wanted to go out to Real Madrid and that he wanted to leave a significant sum of money in the box of the club in his city so that they could look for a replacement with time and above without spending money. Nevertheless, now the scene changes completely with this sincere confession from Kylian, which already makes it clear that his decision has been made and that he only needs to wait until January 1 for his dream to be fulfilled: “In these two months the club has not talked to me about renewal. I already said in summer what I thought.” That is to say, the die is cast and both PSG and the player know it … and Madrid.

But Mbappé is a boy with an unbecoming maturity of his age (22 years old) and it has been clear for a long time that he wants to be the leader and the flag of the next Real Madrid project, with the modernized Bernabéu practically finished. What's more, his confession of the “fear” that happened when Al-Khelaïfi said that he would not leave PSG “not even for free” reflects that this injury left him scarred and kept him from any possibility of renewing his contract with the French club. “Hearing it, I choked.” It is not a question of money, but of respect and personal dignity. The Madrid fans have taken this public statement as a new nod to what will be their future team, as they also did yesterday when they appeared to concentrate with France, in Clairefontaine, dressed in white from top to bottom …
