Al Khelaifi Breaks His Silence on Mbappé’s Transfer to Madrid: “What I Want…”

Nasser Al Khelaifi has stepped forward to address the ‘Mbappé case.’ The player himself had already spoken after winning the French Super Cup, stating that his future is not decided, but all parties are protected. Today, it’s the club president who has spoken up, revealing the current status of this ongoing saga.

Kylian Mbappé had been silent about his future for a while, much like Nasser Al Khelaifi. Now that he is a free agent, he can sign with any team. However, the club must announce when negotiations with the player are set to begin.

The Paris Saint-Germain president is prepared for this scenario, even though his ideal situation is a contract renewal.

“What I want and wish is for Mbappé to stay. For me, he is the best player in the world, and for me, Paris Saint-Germain is the best club for him,” Al Khelaifi began. His tone is different from two years ago when the player was also a free agent. At this moment, it seems he cannot guarantee Mbappé’s continuation.

“We gave him everything he wanted in terms of sports, and we built a project that revolves around him. I hope he stays,” he concluded in remarks to RMC. Thus, it’s evident that in Paris, they are not entirely convinced that the player will stay at Parc des Princes.

Anything can happen. Reports continue to differ, providing conflicting information on this seemingly never-ending soap opera, in Spain, France, and even England.

“I really ask everyone to leave Kylian alone. Leave us alone; we are fine. I trust him; he will never do anything against the club,” the president of the French club later stated.

“Kylian is a great man, a great player, but also a great person. As he recently said, he has an agreement with me on everything,” he confirmed.

Real Madrid doesn’t want to be part of the “game” In Valdebebas, like the fans, they are tired of this matter. Florentino Pérez has not closed the doors of the club to Mbappé; that is clear. However, the president is not going to wait for the Bondy prodigy indefinitely. The Madrid chief has learned his lesson.

The player has to contribute to joining Santiago Bernabéu, meaning he must demonstrate that he genuinely wants to wear the jersey of the 14-time Champions League winners. The only thing certain is that his future depends solely on him; if he doesn’t come to Real, it will be because he chose not to.
