Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has expressed hope that Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappé will settle down in January, before retracting his words.
“In January we will have news about Mbappe. We hope that the matter will be resolved on January 1,” Peres said during a visit to the new media “El Debaty” Tuesday.
However, Peres quickly clarified his statements a few hours later in an interview with Radio Monte Carlo saying: “My words (to El Debaty) have been broadcast in wrong way. What I said, that we should wait for the news next year, and this in the context of the respect we have for Paris Saint-Germain and the relationship The bond that binds us to him.
Peres’ statements come after the club of the Spanish capital made an offer of 180 million euros to Saint-Germain to obtain Mbappé’s services during the summer, but the club French refused the offer. Therefore, Mbappe, 22, is in able to negotiate with any club that he wishes to obtain his services from the beginning of 2022, as his contract with the team from the French capital will expire on 30 June.
Mbappe had released statements to the press yesterday on Radio Monte Carlo and Tuesday to the sports newspaper “L’Equipe”, in which he confirmed to have informed his club of his willingness to leave in the early summer and he said in this regard in the first method, “My position was clear to leave. I said so and I informed the management of the club at the beginning. I wanted Saint-Germain to get compensation for my relocation in order to find a world-class replacement. “
However, Mbappe remained ambiguous when he told L’Equipe if he still wanted to move in another club at the end of his contract. If I had been told that Messi would play for Paris Saint-Germain, I would not have believed it, so we don’t know what could happen. “
