AS: “Real Madrid slapped PSG twice in response to the failure of Mbappe’s deal”

Real Madrid dealt two slaps at Paris Saint-Germain in recent weeks, and managed with them to partially calm the disappointment caused by not signing with Kylian Mbappe, who preferred to renew until 2025 for the Parisian club, although he was committed to a word with Madrid a year ago.

To overcome the pain of not being able to count on the French striker, Real Madrid responded and also saw how one of the coaches they wanted from Paris Saint-Germain with a white past did not want to take over as their coach.

After Mbappe’s renewal, Paris Saint-Germain began work to try to please the striker by signing a player the striker appreciates exceptionally, such as Aurelien Tchouameni, a midfielder who was playing for Monaco and who has been one of the most prominent midfielders in Ligue 1 for the past two seasons.

PSG’s influence in the negotiations raised the price of Tchouameni, but in the end it was Madrid who got his services, having paid a fixed 80 million and another 20 that could come in variables.

In his presentation as a new player at Real Madrid, Tchouameni himself confirmed that Mbappe had consulted him about the possibility of signing with Paris Saint-Germain, but the former Monaco player remained on his position by playing in the white shirt, even knowing that he was coming to compete with Casemiro, and therefore, knowing that he would start as a substitute And that he should change the situation in Carlo Ancelotti’s mind then.

Paris Saint-Germain signed Luis Campos as the new sporting director to please Mbappe and his first task was to sign Chuamini, but this battle was targeted by Madrid.

Paris Saint-Germain’s other wish was to sign Zinedine Zidane to coach the team. The coach is closely associated with Real Madrid, at least from a historical perspective: he won the Champions League as a player and three as coach.

He did not come out with the best picture from the club, with an open letter criticizing the doubts that arose about his continuation throughout the 2020-21 season, but nevertheless he preferred not to go to Paris Saint-Germain, where he could train some of the best players in the world, as his desire is to wait for the French national team, Which may shift after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which will take place between November and December.

There was fear among Real Madrid fans that Paris Saint-Germain, after retaining Mbappe, would rely on the coach who won the most European Cups with Madrid, from next season. But Paris Saint-Germain did not manage to complete this process either, which is a moral victory for the white team and its fans, who are now focused on the file of the departed after the already confirmed deals of Rudiger and Xwamini.

But Florentino Perez maintains his diplomatic tone when referring to PSG. This is how he expressed in his interview with the El Chiringuito program when he was asked about the Paris club, which launched non-stop attacks against Real Madrid over the past year, especially in the mouth of Leonardo, his former sports director, who acts as an aggressive speaker.
