And here we go again my Kyky. Every day (or almost), 20 Minutes takes stock of the latest advances and rumors more or less based on the future of Kylian Mbappé, whose relations with PSG follow the inverse curve of global warming. Departure to Real Madrid this summer or not? The Mbappometer is back.

He is, perhaps, the future Prime Minister of Spain. Alberto Nunez Feijoo, boss of the popular party (PP, conservative right) since last year, is the big favorite in the legislative elections next weekend, after leading his troops to victory in late May in regional and municipal elections. THE daily sports ace was able to question the 62-year-old politician at length, and could not help but put the subject Mbappé on the table. Feijoo’s take: Kylian would be missing out on something big if he refuses Madrid’s advances again.
“Florentino is very, very smart and I don’t think he will be depressed if he doesn’t sign him, because Real Madrid are more than a player, no matter how good they are. In any case, Mbappé should not end his career without coming to Real Madrid, he felt. If I were his representative, I would recommend that he accept the offer. »
Relaunched to find out if he would imagine behaving like Emmanuel Macron, who had called the player to push him to extend to PSG last year, to keep an important player in the country in the Spanish championship, the former head of government of Galicia did not rule out the idea. “I’m not going to criticize Macron, but why not. If I knew the athlete well and could influence his decision, I would not rule him out,” he said.
Credibility: 50%. What he says about Real continuing to be great no matter what and that Mbappé would have everything to gain from it makes sense. But it’s easy to comment on a subject that we are not (yet?) confronted with, and then hey, what credit to give to a politician in an electoral campaign who praises the merits of his country and its representatives?
Mbappometer: Ball in the center today. Are we really interested in the opinion of a politician, in real life? We didn’t ask Olivier Faure to comment on Neymar’s arrival at PSG at the time, did we? In any case, Alberto Nunez Feijoo spoke about sports practice in Spain, racism in the stadiums, the country’s candidacy for the organization of the 2030 World Cup, Rafael Nadal… and ace chose for the title of the interview this little sentence on Kylian. Did you say obsession?
