It did not go down well with the Madrid fans worldwide. Furthermore, the La Liga president also condemned the deal publicly. And now, the Madrid president has made his thoughts known.

Perez has his say on Kylian Mbappe!
Perez is one of the most influential people in the world of football. He rarely appears for any public interview. However, he promised El Chiringuito an interview if Madrid won the UCL.
In the interview, he gave a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the Mbappe saga. He made it clear that Mbappe’s dream was to join Madrid. Moreover, Mbappe’s mother, who works as his agent, also wanted the Madrid move to happen. However, Perez believes that the offers made to Mbappe by PSG led to his change of mind.
