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? Spread the word, the Mbappometer is back.
Monday, June 26
After several days of frenzied excitement on the side of Madrid, the leaders of Real have decided to ease up on the subject of Kylian Mbappé. Indeed, while our famous Mbappometer leaned dangerously towards the Merengues in recent days, Florentino Perez who, as everyone knows, reads 20 minutes every morning with his coffee and his torrijas, activated his networks to calm things down.
According brand, the Real Madrid president is said to be annoyed by the latest rumors of great progress in the negotiations with the player’s clan and PSG. Rumors having the effect of driving Madrid fans crazy and putting a lot of pressure on Perez and his gang. He would have even let it be known that his club was at a standstill in this file and that he did not intend to move an ear this summer to bring the French international to the Bernabeu. The plan would therefore be, according to our Madrid colleagues, to sign the Kid de Bondy next January so as not to give a single kopeck to Qatar in this affair.
Credibility: 15% (and still we are nice). This communication in brand, the pro-Madrid newspaper which has its entries and its ears almost everywhere at the Bernabeu, smells of smoke fifteen kilometers away. After all, this is the basic rule of any negotiation: to appear in a position of strength, it is better to show that you are not interested in the commodity in question.
Mbappometer: Even if we can’t imagine Real Madrid taking the (very) risky bet of not jumping on Mbappé this summer, and this, while all the stars are aligned, we are still obliged to put the arrow back to the balance. Even if, in truth, we only very moderately buy the theory according to which, cool, quiet, Real will have an entire season with Joselu as a leading attacker.
