What was funny in February is suddenly not so amusing in October. As if PSG directors have dementia and forgot how funny it was to poke with Barcelona about Lionel Messi. Di Maria, Neymar and even Mauricio Pochettino had something to say about Barcelona’s captain back then, and eventually, they got their player. But it’s October now, and it’s Deja-vu, but a reversed one: other club is about to ‘steal’ their best player, and they can’t do anything about it. But this time, it’s not funny anymore, it’s ‘disrespectable’. Mbappe finally speaks: ‘I asked PSG to leave in July’After Barca’s coach Ronald Koeman said in February “it’s disrespectful that so many people from PSG talk about Messi, he is still a Barca player”, PSG director said almost the same thing to L Equipe, but this time, the topic was Kylian Mbappe. “Let’s stop this. They talk about Kylian as if he is already one of them. In fact, in the same week a Real Madrid player Karim Benzema, then the Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti and now the president Florentino Perez talk about Kylian as if he was already one of their own. I repeat: this is a lack of respect that we cannot tolerate This is just in the continuity of a lack of respect towards the PSG and towards Kylian, moreover. It’s been two years that it lasts. As I remember, the transfer window period is over. Kylian is a Paris Saint-Germain player and the club fully understands that this relationship will last” said angry Leonardo. Breaking the silence part 2 – Mbappe about Messi, Neymar ‘the bum’, leaving PSG and the national teamBut what was said in Madrid? Well, Real’s supremo Florentino Perez made a little earthquake by simply saying “In January we will have news about Mbappe. We hope that on January 1, everything can be settled” when asked about Kylian Mbappe situation by Spanish media El Debate. Was it deliberately or not, but just a few hours after he said that, Perez expanded his statement in order to clarify things: “My words were misinterpreted. What I said is that we have to wait until next year to hear from him, always with respect to PSG with whom we have good relations” said Perez, but it was too late. After what happened between PSG and Real in the last days of transfer window, you cannot blame Perez if he wanted to put more sault on the PSG wound.
