Mbappe Opens Up About Unhappiness at PSG and Excitement for Real Madrid Move
In a recent interview, French forward Kylian Mbappe revealed that he experienced unhappiness during his final year at Paris St-Germain (PSG). The 25-year-old player, who will be joining Real Madrid on a five-year deal when his PSG contract expires on June 30th, cited “things and people” as the cause of his discontent.
Mbappe’s decision not to sign a year’s extension to his PSG contract last August led to a standoff between the player and the club. As a result, he was forced to train separately from the first-team. However, Mbappe made it clear that he did not want to appear ungrateful to PSG, acknowledging that he did not want to bite the hand that fed him or spit in the face of those who defended him.
The French forward praised PSG boss Luis Enrique and adviser Luis Campos for their support during this challenging period. He stated that without their help, he would not have been able to set foot on the field again. Mbappe expressed his gratitude towards them, highlighting the importance of their role in his career.
Reflecting on his time at PSG, Mbappe admitted that while he was proud of the trophies he won and the success he achieved with the club, there were personal struggles that he had to overcome. As a leader, he felt it necessary to conceal his sadness and not burden his teammates with his emotions. Despite facing difficulties, Mbappe maintained a strong presence on the field and continued to deliver impressive performances.
Looking ahead to his move to Real Madrid, Mbappe expressed his excitement and described it as a dream come true. He emphasized that joining the Spanish club was something he had always envisioned for himself. Mbappe acknowledged that he approaches this new chapter in his career with both enthusiasm and humility.
Mbappe’s departure from PSG marks the end of a successful era for the French club, as he played a crucial role in helping them secure six Ligue 1 titles. However, the talented forward is eager for a fresh start and is determined to achieve even greater success with Real Madrid.
As Mbappe embarks on this new journey, football fans around the world eagerly anticipate his performances in the Spanish La Liga. With his exceptional skills and winning mentality, it is clear that Mbappe is ready to make a significant impact at Real Madrid and continue to establish himself as one of the top players in European football.
