Kylian Mbappe’s decision to stay in Paris Saint German caused so much interest, that he is now like a famous writer – promoting his book all over the world. In this case France international is promoting his decision stay in PSG, and after a few interviews with the home based media, his PR team decided it would be a good idea to promote his decision in Spain too. After all, it’s the country which he turned down three times through Real Madrid. And the more you hear his arguments, the more you feel there was a real pressure on this young man to stay in France at all costs. Never before have we heard from him such frequent mentioning words like ’France’, ’Frenchman’, ’my county’. And after admitting he had multiply conversations with two French presidents, it becomes clear a lot of pressure has been on him lately. So, when he says it was not (all) about money, it looks like he is just maybe telling the truth.🎙 I #Mbappe“My choice was to stay in my country, because I am French, and to be part of the new project, the new era of PSG. I think it’s a good decision because it’s my decision. (Marca) ❤️💙— PSG WORLD NATION ™️ 🐢 (@PSG_WorldNation) May 24, 2022 When Mbappe decided to talk exclusively to the Spanish media, he chose Madrid based „Marca“ and repeated the ’I love France’ story.„Everyone knows it: last year I wanted to go to Real Madrid. I thought it was a good decision to leave last year, but now it’s different because I’m a free agent, I’m French and I know I’m important to the country, and when you’re important to the country you have to think not only about football, but also about your life. After my degree I will be in France, I will live here with my family and friends“ said Mbappe.Real Madrid soundly defeated – what now?Rarely you can hear (at least officially) that a football player discusses his potential transfer and career future with a president of the state, yet alone two of them. Not to mention that it’s the biggest EU country, but that’s exactly what happened with Mbappe and the Frenchmen tried to look like they didn’t pressure him.„It was incredible to talk to him and all these important people, but in the end it was my decision and they gave me good advice, I can only say good things… But it’s my decision. I’ve thought a lot about what I could do and what I can be. My choice has been to stay in my country because I am French and to be in the new project, in the new era of PSG. I think it’s a good decision because it’s my decision“ said PSG forward.Hilarious presser from Mbappe and Khelaifi: I’m a Frenchman, it was not about moneyThe Frenchman also thanked Real fans for supporting him during these times when they thought he will come, admitted he still has a dream of playing there and revealed he will explain his decision to Karim Benzema, who posted some interesting Instagram posts after his decision to stay in Paris.„The only thing I can do is thank all the Real Madrid fans, the whole club, because they gave me all the love possible and it was incredible because I’ve never played there. Only 14 years old, for a week, but it is an incredible club and I wish them good luck for the Champions League final. I think it’s disrespectful to say that my dream is to play for Real Madrid after signing my contract just a few days ago. The dream is fine, but today I am only focused on my new contract, in the present. You never know what can happen… I have a three-year contract, but for the moment I have to focus on my year at PSG. I saw several Real Madrid players posting things. These things are like that, I have nothing to say. Of course, when I go to the France team I will explain to Karim why I have stayed at PSG because we have a good relationship“ said the new born Frenchman.Mbappe stays in Paris – how did it happen?Even thou it was a two horse race between PSG and Real from the beginning, Mbappe revealed that he talked at one point with Liverpool, but admitted because it was only because she is a Reds fan.„Yes, I am sincere. I have spoken to Liverpool because red is my mother’s favorite color and my mother loves Liverpool. Why? I don’t know, ask her. We met with them a few years ago, when I was at Monaco, it’s a great club… Now we talk to them a bit, but not much… In the end it was between Real Madrid and PSG“ revealed the French international.Mbappe & Haaland after snubbing Real Madrid for oil money(@BTC365OFFICIAL )pic.twitter.com/XgEsPLXfIm— Troll Football (@TrollFootball) May 21, 2022 The question of money was off course inevitable, but Mbappe decided to stick with the ’it was not about money’ story and pointed out to his agent and mother.„I am a bit sad because since I started playing football I showed everyone that I had the patience to play. I have always talked about football, titles, important games… never about money. People can talk about what they want, but everyone knows me. I have spoken with everyone at Real Madrid, I have spoken with PSG and they know that I have never discussed money with the president, with Florentino Perez, or with Nasser Al Khelaifi. My lawyer talked about money a bit, as did my mother, but I didn’t. I talk about sport because I talk on the pitch. My money goes to my account, I look at it a bit but I don’t care. I am here to win titles, to show that I am the best and to be happy. I think right now I’m happy“ explained Mbappe.The Frenchman also admitted it’s an obsession for him to win the Champions League.„It is always an obsession for me. It is not that it is a goal because we did not win, but that it is an obsession. You don’t have to be afraid of losing, I’m not afraid of losing. I still won’t win the Champions League next year, but it’s an obsession. I won the World Cup, I hope to win the second this year… but of course I want to win the Champions League. I’m not saying it’s a goal because I lost a final. It’s an obsession: I’ve tried it every year and I’ll try again. It’s what I want“ said Mbappe.Loading… ⏳ #Mbappe pic.twitter.com/I9N3FF7TUz— Xavi Sanchéz (@Xavi11San) May 17, 2022 Mbappe also addressed the situation when he was seen in Madrid some time ago, which also added more ’fuel’ to the stories that he was destined for Real.„It was not a mistake. I was in Madrid because Achraf told me to please, please go to Madrid with him. He would probably do it again. I didn’t go to Madrid for people to talk. I went with Achraf on a private flight, we changed our names and everything so no one would see me and then we went to a restaurant and someone told me. But I didn’t say: “Yes, I’m going to Madrid so that everyone can see me.” I went directly, secretly, with my friends and Achraf paid for the trip so that my name wouldn’t even be on it and people wouldn’t see me at the airport. I went to the hotel, I relaxed, then I went to the restaurant and everyone saw me. But it was for Achraf“ explained Mbappe.
