'I told PSG I wanted to join Real Madrid in the summer' - Mbappe admits as he reveals plan to join Spanish side in future

French international has opened up about his decision to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer. Although, the move wasn't granted by the Parc des Princes outfit in the transfer window.

Kylian Mbappe has become a long target for Real Madrid and the World Cup winner hasnt hidden his interest to join the Los Blancos.

Recall that Paris Saint-Germain turned down several transfer bids from Real Madrid during the summer transfer, including a late bid on deadline day. The Spanish giants made two huge bids of around £137million and £154m for Mbappe. 

In a new interview, with L’Equipe he revealed that he wanted to join Real Madrid. 

 

Mbappe told L’Equipe: “Before the Euros, I told Paris Saint-Germain that I didn’t want to renew, and after the Euros I said I wanted to leave. My ambition was really for everyone to move forward hand in hand, the selling club, the buying club and me.

 

“I was NOT changing my mind [on his desire to leave PSG] because of Leo Messi arrival… it’s a privilege, he’s great but I don’t make decisions on sudden impulses. I had made my decisions and I had thought long and hard about it.

 

“I stayed at PSG and I’m really happy […]. But we’re far from signing a new contract and staying, as I wanted to leave this summer. With regard to my situation, we haven’t been discussing a renewal for two months, since I said I wanted to leave."

The former Monaco star is expected to be out of contract next summer and could walk away from the club for nothing. 

Mbappe added: “When I say leave, I’m talking about Real Madrid. Real made an offer. I thought that my time at PSG was over. Leaving was the logical next step.

 

“Other clubs? NO. I am attached to Paris, and if I had left this summer it would have only been for Real.”
