Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid appears to be on the horizon, according to José Manuel Otero, a member of Real Madrid’s board of directors.
Speaking on the Remontada Blanca podcast, José Manuel Otero, a member of Real Madrid’s board of directors, did not hold back regarding Kylian Mbappé as a target for the club. He stated, « Mbappé had the opportunity, and not the opportunity, to come to Madrid last summer. To come, he would have had to give up the very high bonuses he received from PSG. Additionally, a transfer fee would have been required. The amount that would have been required to have Mbappé a year earlier was exorbitant. It wouldn’t have made sense to sign him, even though Benzema left. We hope that Mbappé will have the same reasoning as Bellingham. I have confidence in his arrival. »
« He will reach glory when he arrives at Real Madrid. Otherwise, he will wander… He will win a Champions League one day (in Madrid). Now it seems that PSG is less powerful than before because they no longer have as good players. Real Madrid provides security and seriousness that yield results. I am confident he will say yes when he becomes a free agent. He was born to play for Real Madrid; it’s evident, » the Madrid executive stated.
« A young boy was flooded with money, and he made a decision. If you asked him today, and he’s sincere, he will say he regrets it. He could have already won a European Cup if he had come to Madrid. The relationship between Mbappé and Florentino Pérez has never been bad. Florentino never took offense at what Mbappé did; he understood his reaction. There was no strong reaction from Real Madrid against the player. Real has always protected him. It was the supporters who felt betrayed ».
« Real Madrid has always left the door open. Zidane came at 29; Mbappé will come at 25. He will have many years with us. If we had made a wrong move with Mbappé, PSG would have tried to react against Real Madrid. We know what we can and must do. If Mbappé comes in 2024, as I hope, everything will be done correctly. Without anyone being able to accuse us of having a pact with him. What they said last year, with Al Khelaïfi claiming there was an agreement with Real Madrid, is false, » concluded the Spanish executive.
