Kylian Mbappe’s transfer to Real is the ugliest football saga of all time with a lot of questions that no one has answered yet!
Why couldn’t this move happen for years? How did PSG blackmail Kylian and kill his dream? What impressive sacrifices did Mbappe make for Madrid? And why the image of a toxic player and a gold digger still attributed to the Frenchman is the biggest lies ever told?
We give you the shocking truth about Mbappe's move to Real Madrid! Let’s get started!
Mbappe's Gilded Cage at PSG
It all started three years ago. In the summer of 2021, Kylian Mbappe decided to leave PSG for Real Madrid. Madrid offered 200 million euros for the forward, but the Parisians simply did not respond! No reaction, no answers, no explanations - the Paris club was indifferent to Kylian's wishes!
In 2022, Mbappe tried to move to Real Madrid again and the transfer was closer than ever! Los Blancos had almost reached an agreement with Mbappe and Florentino Perez controlled every detail of it. All that was left was to push PSG.
However, destiny had a different plan. Again. This time, Mbappe's dream was buried by politicians and the Qatari owners of PSG! French President Emmanuel Macron called Kylian every day and forced him to refuse Real Madrid.
Later, PSG owner Sheikh Tamim Bin Hammad Al Thani got involved. He invited Mbappe to Qatar and made it clear to the player that no one would let him go.
In return, the Parisians offered Mbappe the biggest contract in football history at the time: until 2025, a salary of €72 million a year, €180m signing-on bonus and €70m annual loyalty payment!
Who would refuse such a sum if you were already locked in a gilded cage anyway?
Kylian accepted PSG's offer, even though he was forced to go against his dreams. Real Madrid publicly lost. Madrid fans perceived Mbappe's action as a betrayal, and the Spanish media wrote that Kylian informed Flo Perez of his decision via... a WhatsApp message.
A few weeks later, the Real Madrid president came on El Chiringuito and told the truth,
“We didn’t sign a contract with Mbappé because of PSG. I think they confused him. I believed him and his dream, but sometimes dreams don’t come true.
He was pressured by two different countries. It’s not easy to have the president of your country call you, then go to Qatar and they offer you insane things.
He changed his mind and at the end, we said this isn’t the Mbappé we wanted. This Mbappe is not my Mbappe,” Perez said.
So, PSG achieved their goal, but it was not enough for them to keep Kylian. They decided to teach the player a lesson for wanting to move to Real Madrid! It was time for conflicts, insults, and cheap tricks. PSG became a prison for Donatello...
At first, the Red and Blues removed Mbappe as the frontman of their sports project and turned all the attention to Lionel Messi. The locker room was even divided into camps, and not in Kylian's favor. He was outnumbered by Messi, Neymar and their Latin American friends. And PSG fans fiercely booed Kylian at matches for all his flirtations with Real Madrid.
Then, in 2023, PSG wanted to tie Mbappe to an even longer contract, but he remained silent. Seeing their star's indecision, the Parisians suspended Kylian from the pre-season tour of Japan. The Frenchman was also threatened with a place on the bench for the entire season!
Recently, Mbappe admitted this in person after his transfer to Real Madrid took place:
“PSG told me to my face VIOLENTLY that I will NOT play this season. Luis Enrique and Luis Campos SAVED ME. I feel LIBERATED.
If it weren't for Luis Campos and Luis Enrique, I wouldn't have been allowed to set foot on the pitch this season. That's the truth.”
Moreover, according to the new information from Marca, Mbappé was under a LOT of PRESSURE to renew in 2022, in his personal & family life. There was even talk of THREATS. Can you imagine the horror he went through?
So it was never about money! Mbappe was made a hostage, but in fact, he did not betray Real Madrid and did not “lose his head” because of PSG's financial handouts. On the contrary, Mbappe is the best example that money can’t buy happiness, and now you will see why!
Mbappe and money at Real
Kylian Mbappe eventually apologized to Real Madrid and made a big sacrifice! His salary at the Royal Club will be €15m per year, with a €100m signing bonus. This is incomparably less than the €72 million per year + €70 million “loyalty bonus” that Mbappe received at PSG!
According to The Athletic journalist Mario Cortegana, Kylian's entourage initially wasn’t satisfied with Real Madrid's offer, because two years ago Los Blancos gave Mbappe much more - €30-40m per year and €120m for signing the contract.
In addition, last summer, Kylian was approached by Saudi Al-Hilal and the proposed contract was the BIGGEST in the history of sports!
