Last spring’s gigantic air conditioning was therefore not enough. A year after taking the most monumental rake in the history of rakes from Kylian Mbappé when he thought the file was tied up like never before, Florentino Pérez falls back into exactly the same faults.
Last year’s lesson not learned?
The president of Real Madrid allowed himself to be filmed saying things that he shouldn’t say in a video that quickly leaked on social media on Saturday. We see this good Florentino asked by a passerby / supporter of Real on the next arrival – or not – of the French striker, as it must happen to him about 500 times a year. Except that this time precisely, the Madrid boss decides to stop and answer with a frank “Yes”, with an insolent confidence, before specifying “but not this year”.
It looks exactly like his appearance on the Chiringuito set during the Superleague affair in 2021, when he replied “Be quiet” about Kyky’s transfer, seeming to say that it was understood. History has proven the opposite, and even if Mbappé has liked to piss everyone off on this story for two years, while his latest media releases – “I’m under contract with PSG, so I’ll be Parisian next year. next” – stink of the full-faced blow, his about-face last year should have at least alerted Real Madrid to one thing. What Mbappé wants in June is one thing, what he wants in January, who knows. In short, we have not finished laughing.
