Real Madrid is not ready to welcome Kylian Mbappe, while PSG has no intention of holding a tribute ceremony for this player, after announcing his departure from Paris at the end of the season.
Le Parisien newspaper said that PSG decided not to hold Mbappe’s farewell ceremony at Parc des Princes, where he will play the last match at the Paris team’s home field tonight (against Toulouse at 2:00 a.m. on May 13), after confirmed his departure, ending a 7-year relationship, on Friday.
In the end, Mbappe also chose to leave PSG, definitely not extending for another year as desired, appearing in the shirt held by him and President Al-Khelaifi when the two sides renewed in May 2022.
This source added that PSG leaders were surprised by Mbappe’s announcement, even though they knew he had chosen to leave at the end of the season. Not to mention, in the farewell video letter, the striker thanked everyone, but absolutely did not mention President Al-Khelaifi.
For the reason that the time is too close, and the celebration of the team’s (scheduled) Ligue 1 title is more important, there will be no tribute from the club to Mbappe at Parc des Princes tonight.
Meanwhile, after Real Madrid’s easy 4-0 win over Granada and relegation of their opponents, coach Ancelotti was asked about Mbappe. The Italian strategist, maintaining his usual calmness, replied:
“Kylian Mbappe? I’m not thinking about that subject at the moment. Right now Real Madrid has more important things to focus on.”
Ancelotti and Real Madrid will welcome Mbappe, but not right now because they are still busy focusing on getting the 15th C1 Cup in the club’s history.
Mbappe’s joining Real Madrid is something that everyone knows “as clear as day”, the only thing missing is official confirmation from insiders.
The Royal Spanish team plans to announce the signing of Mbappe after coach Ancelotti and his students finish playing the C1 Cup final – against Dortmund at Wembley at 2:00 a.m. on June 2.
And while Mbappe has not yet officially finalized the date of his debut for the Vultures, French President Emmanuel Macron has personally suggested that the club release him, as quoted by El Chiringuito:
“I’m counting on Real Madrid. I hope they will let Mbappe attend the Paris Olympics.”
Real Madrid is said to have informed all federations that have players they own that they will not release players for the 2024 Paris TV show.
