A manager of Florentino Pérez has explained the reasons why the Frenchman has not arrived this summer
At the white club they trust that the forward will wear white next season
Real Madrid has been unable to complete the signing of Kylian Mbappé for three summers. He came close last year, but PSG convinced him to renew. And in the last market window, the forward’s public resignation from the optional year that he had agreed upon, together with the unexpected departure of Karim Benzema, made people think about his arrival. Finally, Mbappé’s landing did not occur and one of the members of the Real Madrid board of directors, José Manuel Otero Lastres, has explained the reasons in an interview with the channel ‘Remontada Blanca’
“If we had made a wrong move with Mbappé, PSG would have tried to react against Real Madrid. “Real Madrid knows perfectly well what it can and what it should do,” said Otero, who denied that Real Madrid has any closed agreement with the forward or his entourage: If Mbappé comes – I hope in 2024 – he will come legally, without “Nobody can accuse us of having made an agreement. What they took for granted last year, that Al-Kelaífi said he had an agreement with Real Madrid, is not true.”
