His name had been in the spotlight for several weeks, as had the manager’s name Mauricio Pochettinowho could soon pack his bags despite his current contract until 2023.

I hope you understand “the words that Mbappé would have said to Perez, with the president of the Blancos that he would have replied” I’m sorry for what happened these days, they have broken the dream you had since childhood. I wish you the best”.
The relaunch of the French club, approx 50 million euros per season plus 300 million signing bonusesjoined the political pressure (hence Perez’s words on “what happened”) that would come from both Qatar and France.
