Kylian Mbappé he gave a real recital at Camp Nou with the PSG jersey, which left the tie on the rails for the Parisians. Although this exposure could well have been with the Barcelona jersey. The striker was set to join Barca’s squad in 2017, after Neymar left, but the club rejected him. “Yes it was, I can confirm it, Mbappé was offered to Barça in 2017», He assured Junior Minguella à El Partidazo de Cope.
“In fact, now more than ever because a manager has already confirmed it and given his side of the story, it’s absolutely true. We find ourselves in a situation where we knew from my father that Neymar had an agreement with PSG and he was going. The leaders of the club did not know or believe it and we were at that point where Neymar, due to a contractual bonus, had not yet confirmed his departure and the club said he did not did not want to take a step before Neymar left, ”he added.
It all started with Neymar’s march to Paris. At that point, Barcelona start looking for a replacement for the Brazilian, and Mbappe appears as one of the options with Ousmane Dembele: “At the moment when it is confirmed that Neymar is leaving, the technicians and the president, who does not want to skip them (the technicians), have doubts about the player they want to incorporate and believe that they are doing better for the type of the Dembélé team than Mbappé. Some have even gone so far as to say that Mbappé was a ghost, the one against whom this boy was bound ”.
«We closed the deal at $ 130 million plus $ 25 in bonuses. Mbappé would earn between 10 and 16 million net, ”he added. At that time, the young Paris Saint Germain player was 18 years old and had just led Monaco to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Real Madrid were also very interested in him and were on the verge of resuming his services, but eventually that summer he ended up going to PSG with Neymar. There, he became a star as he demonstrated this Tuesday during the match against Barça at Camp Nou. “Madrid were not entirely clear on where to start (for Mbappé) at the time because they did not have their place in the squad. And in fact, Kylian preferred to come to Barcelona because at that moment Neymar comes out and he sees the hole. On the other hand, in Madrid, there was Bale, Cristiano, Benzema, etc. “.
