Pérez also touched on the reasons he believes made the 23-year-old change his mind. “He didn’t betray me. The situation with Mbappé changed fifteen days before (that he communicates his decision). He was under political pressure and I think also economicbelieves the boss of Real. It was not easy for him to receive phone calls from the President of France to tell him not to leave PSG. Then go to Qatar to be offered things that drive you crazy, things that are probably disproportionate. That’s why Kylian changed his mind.»
