Kylian Mbappé never left anyone indifferent. Whether in the field with his exploits, or outside with shattering decisions, the Real Madrid striker remains at the center of all attention. In a long interview withThe teamand relayed byMark, the 2018 world champion returned to a hot topic: his legal conflict with Paris Saint-Germain, his former club, from which he claims no less than 55 million euros in unpaid wages.
A bomb that once again shakes the microcosm of European football. Because behind smiles and declarations of love at PSG, Mbappé chose to enforce his rights. “This is my responsibility, it is labor law. I signed an employment contract. I just wanted to be paid, ”he said in a tone that is both firm and disillusioned.
According to him, this is in no way a settling of accounts, but a question of justice. “The process gave the impression that I wanted to harm PSG. But this is not the case. I love this club, I still have friends there. Simply, when we do not receive what is due to us, we must act. Words that strike hard, recalling that even multimillionaire stars are not spared by contractual conflicts.
The 26 -year -old striker even confessed that he had noticed the problem when he was still under contract with Paris, but that he had chosen not to raise his voice. “I could have made a scandal at the time. But I thought it wasn’t worth it. When you see that the money does not fall, after a while, you need to react. »»
This financial dispute does not prevent Mbappé from still having feelings for PSG. Asked about the historic triumph of the Paris club in the Champions League – their first victory, which occurred the season following his departure – he was a philosopher. “I have friends in this team, and those who know me know that friendship is important to me. You can’t spit on a team where your friends play. My story with Paris is over and I have no regrets. Even my mistakes are part of this story. »»
Mbappé takes the opportunity to recall what he accomplished with the Paris jersey: two semi-finals and a Champions League final, even if the Supreme Trophy has escaped them. “We did not win, but we were close. My time was sold. Real Madrid called me, and it’s always my dream. I could have left earlier, but everything happens in its time. »»
His arrival in Madrid, long -awaited, marked a turning point in his career. Now he carries the white tunic with the ambition of making history as his childhood idols. And the future still seems to reserve burning chapters for him. In recent days, the press has revealed that Zinedine Zidane should take the reins of the French team after the 2026 World Cup. A prospect that has reacted Mbappé with undisguised admiration.
“With him, no need to complicate things. It’s Zidane. No one will say no. He alone has this right. If it’s perfect. And if he’s someone else, too. But he is the only one in the history of French football to have almost all rights. »»
Behind this sentence, we understand that the captain of the Blues would see an excellent eye the arrival of the Madrid legend. An Mbappé-Zidane Union in the French team: that’s enough to ignite supporters and give new life to tricolor ambitions.
Thus, between a financial conflict which exposes the often opaque behind the scenes of football, an emotional relationship still alive with Paris, and a flamboyant present in Madrid, Mbappé continues to navigate between shadow and light. Its history is never linear, always punctuated by shines, controversies and dreams. But a certainty remains: whatever he does, Kylian Mbappé never leaves anyone indifferent.
