It is being reported that Real Madrid is determined to sign Kylian Mbappe by the end of 2024. While Mbappe is currently in the final few months of his PSG contract, there haven’t been any indications about the PSG star’s potential future club. Nevertheless, while some fans feel Mbappe would arrive at Real Madrid, most fans don’t think that way.
Reacting to the video, one fan commented, “But Kylian Mbappe doesn’t agree with both of ’em.” Moreover, some fans also pointed out that Perez’s response to the fan might have been to the first part, where the fan states that the former is the best president. However, only time will tell whether Real Madrid is finally able to sign Kylian Mbappe or whether the PSG forward remains in the French capital.
Florentino Perez once refused to bring Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid
While Florentino Perez might have agreed to sign Kylian Mbappe, he had a different stance some time ago. Back in 2022, Mbappe snubbed Real Madrid and instead signed a new contract with PSG. Following Mbappe’s snub, Florentino Perez appeared to be fuming at the French star’s betrayal.
In an interview with the Spanish news outlet El Chiringuito, Perez said, “This is not the Mbappe I wanted to bring, he is another one, who must have changed his dream.” Perez further admitted that, while Mbappe initially wanted to leave PSG for Real Madrid, he changed his stance within 15 days. In addition to this, the 76-year-old president stated that no one, not even Mbappe, is above Real Madrid.
🗣 “It was not easy for Mbappé to receive calls from the president of France…to tell you not to leave.
This is not the Mbappé I wanted to bring; he is another one, who must have changed his dream. No one is bigger than Real Madrid. It won’t change.”Florentino Pérez 😲 pic.twitter.com/WkQNc5MQaE

Real Madrid has a stronger chance of signing the 24-year-old soccer superstar this time. Although Real Madrid isn’t the only club in pursuit of Mbappe, according to several reports, Premier League giants Liverpool FC is also interested in signing the 2018 World Cup winner. However, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi would surely try his level best to not let Kylian Mbappe leave PSG.
