Mbappé Reaches Out to Camavinga Over Future Comments: “You’re a G…”
Real Madrid is focused on Wednesday’s match against RB Leipzig at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, in the return leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t want anything to distract his players before this continental showdown, but the ‘Mbappé case’ continues to make headlines.
This was evident in Eduardo Camavinga’s press conference, where the Madrid midfielder received numerous questions about his compatriot.
“I haven’t spoken to him. He’s a PSG player, and I don’t know what he’ll do next season. He’s not our player, and I’ll also respect PSG. I enjoy being in the dressing room, and we don’t talk about that. That’s the reality. When I go to the national team, I go to enjoy. Surely we’ll talk about it, but he won’t say anything. It’s normal,” were the words of the club’s number 12.
Camavinga is aware of the attention this story garners, so he didn’t hesitate to address the question, but he also didn’t delve further, even though it’s evident that he knows more than he’s willing or able to disclose.
This prompted Kylian Mbappé himself to reach out to him after seeing the press conference and learning about his responses to the journalists.
“You’re a great friend, brother. Thank you for not fueling further debate about me,” PSG’s number 7 told the Real Madrid player.
Born in Bondy, he appreciated this gesture, knowing that regardless of what happens against Real Sociedad, the controversy will escalate in Paris. Therefore, he particularly valued his compatriot’s words.
