The French striker famously turned down Real Madrid in 2022, opting to stay in Paris.
Yet, despite the rejection, Mbappe says Perez maintained a warm and supportive stance:
“It wasn’t easy. I had a good relationship with the president. From day one, he stood by me, even when I said I’d stay in Paris. He’s always liked me and my family — it shows. That made the difference.”
Life in Madrid: ‘You Can See When I’m Happy’
Beyond football, Mbappe shared how he’s adjusting to life in Spain:
“You can see on my face when I’m happy. I’m exploring Madrid, learning the Spanish culture, but the match calendar is insane — we play every three days. What I love most about Spain are the people. They’re friendly and helpful, especially in Madrid, but also across the country when we travel.”
Mbappe emphasized his focus remains on football, despite the busy schedule. He aims to repay the trust shown by Perez and the Madrid fans:
“I always tell him I’ll give everything for the club and for him, so the Madrid supporters are happy.”
