The newspaper As has interviewed the former player Robert Pires who has talked about the future of Mbappe and of his frustrated signing for Real Madrid.
His frustrated signing for Real Madrid
“For me it was a very difficult moment, although I felt privileged, because I had to choose between Real Madrid, Juventus and Arsenal. I was about, but about, to sign with Madrid, but Wenger called me many times, he ate my head and in the end he convinced me ”.
The times Wenger rejected Real Madrid
“A few. He told me that Florentino Pérez was delighted with the work he was doing with us at Arsenal. But, like me, he said no to Madrid… He preferred to continue with the project at Arsenal ”.
Zidane
“It is tremendous that there is talk of crisis and the end of the cycle when Madrid lost two games before the Classic and then drew in extremis against Gladbach… I know that in Madrid there is a lot of pressure, but the coach and the players must work on a calmer climate. Not because it is Madrid or Barça you can win everyone, otherwise football would be boring “
Mbappé next year at Real Madrid
“Of course. I'm French, I like PSG and I would like him to continue in Ligue 1, but if he wants to grow in his career, he has to sign for Madrid ”.
Camavinga
“He's only 17 years old, uh… My opinion is that he should stay two more years at Rennes so that he continues to grow and then go to a big one like Madrid or Barça or whoever he chooses. It's early for him. If Rennes can, they must try to retain him ”.
