In a press conference on Tuesday, Kylian Mbappé, who had just moved to Real Madrid, spoke about his departure from Paris Saint-Germain with a certain relief. Words that did not seem to please the capital club.
Happy, liberated, relieved… Kylian Mbappé used the words of a prisoner who has finished his sentence to describe his state of mind after his arrival at the Merengues. Words that contrasted with the situation experienced in recent months at PSG, where the former Monegasque was sidelined at the end of the season after announcing his departure for Real Madrid.
« I was made to understand that I would not play anymore, I was told this to my face, I was spoken to violently, » he confided, without however naming names. Revelations that threw a chill on his time at PSG, where he would have finally spent five seasons, winning four French league titles in particular.
« Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has never dictated the slightest decision to the team »
On the PSG side, they were not very happy. Highlighting the unfulfilled promises, this source denied any voluntary ostracism of the player.
« He has absolutely no class, » slipped a source close to PSG to AFP. « Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has never dictated the slightest decision to the team. Luis Enrique even said it himself, but despite everything, Mbappé says something and everyone prints it as if it were the truth. »
The controversy surrounding Mbappé’s departure from PSG continued to swell. The player’s accusations against the club’s leaders did not go down well, and the club’s entourage was now trying to restore the image of its president and coach.
