Madrid meets the family

The row of interviews that Kylian Mbappé gave in this break where he acknowledged that he had asked to leave PSG in the summer and that his idea was to join Real Madrid felt very good at the white club. But what not expected was a 180 degree message, which came from the mother and representative of the star. “We are talking to renew and it is going well”revealed Fayza Lamari, the forward's mother, in Le Parisien. A 'counter-programming' that It has generated certain perpejlidad especially because it supposes the entrance in public scene of a direct relative of so much weight with apparently contradictory words with what was expressed hours before by Mbappé himself. Madrid runs into the family of a star again, but it is not the first time that has happened.

Every time the father of a possible signing in Madrid intervenes (he is not the only one) they start to tremble. It happened with Mustafá Özil, unanimously considered at the highest levels of the Concha Espina entity as the person responsible for the German international's departure to Arsenal. The high and endless financial claims for his son, whom he represented, were the trigger for the break with Madrid and Mesut himself recognizes it in his autobiography. Of course, it was a very beneficial move for Mustafá Özil's own pocket, which received from Arsenal a commission of € 7M for the transfer of his son.

Madrid also recently encountered a very demanding father in the figure of Hans-Erik Odegaard. Not only did he squeeze Madrid economically (he closed a salary of € 10.5M for three and a half years for his son) and in his commission (camouflaged under a contract as a Valdebebas coach), he also wanted to 'speed up' the process to integrate Martin into the first white team almost at all costs and even though not yet convinced any of the coaches of the time (Ancelotti, Benítez and Zidane).

Next could be Erling Haaland. Mino Raiola is the leading voice in the Norwegian's career but the goalscorer's father, former footballer Alf-Inge, is also an active part of the talks about his next move. The Borussia striker insists internally that he prefers Madrid, but the temptation in the form of multi-million dollar commissions For both Raiola and the father, they can muddy what is appreciated as a bid at the highest level next summer anyway.

Division of opinions in the same house

The silver lining to optimism regarding the position of Mbappé's mother is that she herself has admitted that it was one of the two parties close to Kylian (the other was his lawyer) who advised him to leave PSG this past summer. The cross on the coin is that he did it … against the judgment of the player's father. Mbappé is still closely linked to his parents, but the final decision will have to be his and at Madrid he is expected to change his mind and maintain what he held and has publicly acknowledged, that his future was and continues to pass through the Bernabéu.
