Nasser Al-Khelaifi, president of Paris Saint-Germain, stated again about the real reason for the failure of the transfer of Kylian Mbappe, to Real Madrid
Al-Khelaifi confirmed in an interview with the Spanish newspaper Marca, “I refused 180 million euros from Real Madrid last summer because I knew that Mbappe wanted to stay in Paris Saint-Germain”
He noted, “I know Mbappe well, and I know what he and his family want, because money does not move them”
He continued, “Kylian has chosen to play here for his city, club, country and sports project. All he thinks about is playing and winning”
The Paris club succeeded in renewing Mbappe’s contract for 3 additional seasons until the summer of 2025
Nasser Al-Khelaifi responded to the accusations of Javier Tebas, president of the Spanish League, “La Liga,” saying, “We make decisions because we know that we can implement them, and it is not in our way to talk about leagues, clubs or other federations”
He continued, “We do not give lessons to anyone and we will not allow anyone to give us lessons. It is the same unfortunate things that we face every year, but we will continue to build our project”
In another context, the PSG president talked about the file of the new coach of the team, and said, “I just want to make it clear that I love Zidane as a player and coach, but we did not talk to him directly or indirectly, at all”
