Jesé Rodriguez, a new player in the Turkish club Ancaragocho, revealed in an interview on the “El Larguero” website on “Cadena Ser” that when they met at Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappe told him that he would sign for Madrid. The Canary footballer was surprised by the French striker’s last-minute change of plans and saw that the “no” to the white club was due to “pressure from people outside football”
“I was very surprised. He told me that he would sign for Real Madrid when he was in Paris. I don’t know why he didn’t come, I think it was because of pressure from outside the football world. That’s my opinion, I think it’s been called out by people who shouldn’t get involved in this stuff. If it was about football, he would have gone to Madrid, but he made the decision that he considered. He felt a lot of pressure in many different aspects,” Jesé announced
The former Real Madrid player did not want to assess his departure from Las Palmas. “I have a lot of love for the club and the president. Sometimes it goes well and sometimes it doesn’t, my thinking was after what happened with Tenerife in the ‘play-off’. They had other things in mind, the weight is OK,” he said. Finally, the striker expressed his enthusiasm for a new stage in the Turkish Super League, where a “nice project and a new challenge” awaits him: “People are very committed to signing”
