Kylian Mbappé spoke for the first time about why he renewed his contract with Paris Saint-Germain for two years in the summer of 2022 instead of moving to Real Madrid.
The French international was at that time very close to joining Real Madrid, but he suddenly decided to continue with PSG for two years.
Regarding this, Mbappe said, “It was more than just staying with Paris Saint-Germain.”
He also added, “The World Cup in Qatar was approaching. It was a difficult decision, but I do not regret it.”
It seems that the 25-year-old chose to remain in the usual safe place at that time instead of embarking on a risky experience shortly before the start of the World Cup.
Mbappe reached the final of the 2022 World Cup with France before losing the title on penalties to the Argentine national team.
Now Mbappe is preparing to move to Real Madrid after the expiration of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, and the deal is supposed to be announced next week.
