Kylian Mbappé confessed that he could have rejected his transfer to Real Madrid to renew with Paris Saint-Germain because of his brother
In the midst of his sporting debacle, Kylian Mbappé gave an interview to the Canal+ France program 'Clique' in which he spoke about various current issues. However, the Frenchman made a confession that has not gone unnoticed by anyone, as he revealed that his signing for Real Madrid last summer was almost ruined by his brother, Ethan.
The forward assured that he received pressure to extend his commitment to Paris Saint-Germain and not affect the career of his brother, who was also part of the Parisian team. "It happened. It was what affected me the most. For him, his Real Madrid was PSG and indirectly I took it away from him," explained the 2018 world champion.
Mbappé was able to renew with PSG
Later, Mbappé revealed that he was willing to renew with PSG to fulfill Ethan's dream. "He told me that he didn't want to stay, that what they were doing to me wasn't normal. I told him: if you want to stay, I'll renew and we'll stay a little longer. I would have given up my dream of Madrid for him. What's the point of signing for the best club in the world if you kill your brother's career?"
In the end, history ended up going in Kylian's favour, who decided to end his time at the Parc des Princes to play at the Santiago Bernabéu, where they are still waiting for the best version of a player who has fallen on hard times. For his part, his brother left Paris and headed for Lille, where injuries have prevented him from taking off.
