Real Madrid dream not over, Mbappe insists
Kylian Mbappe has disclosed that his future still holds a spot for Real Madrid despite his newly signed three-year deal with Paris Saint-Germain.
Mbappe ended months of transfer speculation on May 21 after the new deal which must have caught Real Madrid unaware.
Madrid president, Florentino Perez had been negotiating rigorously to bring the world Cup winner to Madrid.
According to Mbappe’s statement, he is still hoping to play for the La Liga giants in future.
He said, “Last week, when I made the decision to stay, I spoke with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, because I have a lot of respect for him and the club,” he said in an interview with BBC Sport’s Guillem Balague.
“It was important to say personally I am not going to Real Madrid.
“Everything was good, and we have a good relationship, and after that I told PSG, I will stay a little longer here.
“(Is the Real Madrid dream over?) No, it is never over.
“The only difference now, is I have signed a contract for three more years, and you never know what can happen in the future.
“I don’t think about the future, I only think about the present, and that is PSG.”
