“We appreciate your interest.

Barcelona is a splendid club, but my son wants to play for Madrid."

The interlocutor had tried.

It must be done with all the talents, located by the

services of the clubs from a very early age.

, however, was already a reality.

He was in Paris and Barça was in the dangerous gorge that has taken him to where he is now: ruin.

seemed open to alternatives, but his opinion, despite carrying out the duties of an agent, has never been the only one when it comes to addressing the player's fate.

It matters, and a lot, that of

, a courageous mother with whom the roles in controlling Kylian's career have been distributed.

Father, mother and son thus form the triangle of the most anticipated decision in world football.

The family, which has functioned as a domestic

, remains united by the footballer's interests, although no longer by all the emotional ties, due to the recent separation of the parents.

When that happens, there may be cracks.

Florentino

was assailed by doubts;

to

, hopes were opened.

Like the good gamblers on the table, it is difficult for them to be noticed, today, at the formal meal of the Savoy, in Paris.

The tie between his teams, which starts tonight at the Parc des Princes, could lead, once completed, to the lifting of the veil.

Or not.

We will see.

BETWEEN 70 AND 100 MILLION

Everyone knows that Mbappé has rejected Paris Saint Germain's proposals to renew, but what has been offered has not reached, for now, the salary ceiling of the squad:

's 35 million euros net in his last year.

Whether or not PSG will catch up with her in a final bid in the coming months is anyone's guess.

This is a figure that, initially, Madrid will not put on the table, although Florentino already knows that, despite the fact that the Frenchman ends his contract with PSG on June 30, he will not arrive for free.

The incorporation will imply the payment of a signing premium that can be between 70 and 100 million euros.

This is income that is taxed as the footballer's perception, taxed with personal income tax in Spain, so the gross cost is much higher.

By dividing his amortization between the years for which he would sign the supposed contract, the effective annual cost of the salary may be around or above the figure received by Neymar in his last year in Paris.

It is true that Mbappé's motivation for leaving PSG is more sporting than economic, but in today's football nobody loses money.

Well advised by his environment, Mbappé has not wanted to speak when he could already do so freely, as of January 1.

The rest would have put greater pressure on the footballer, who already supports whistles from radical fans.

The duel with Madrid faces him, then, under the spotlight, but without having positioned himself.

The player's motivation is extra, because if he wins he will have shown that he is loyal to his club and that the club chosen for his future has not made a mistake.

The Mbappé have marked out a careful route that should take the player to the top of the world, but without making mistakes, falling behind, or breaking the common thread with their country and their city.

Madrid, very much to French taste, and the new Bernabéu is, in principle, the chosen platform for the future reign.

Fayza, the mother, warned as soon as she arrived at PSG about the frivolous jokes they made with her son Neymar and Alves: "That's not the way."

Everyone agrees that she is a woman of great character.

Of Algerian parents, she was a handball player in the French first category.

Her father, Wilfried, of Cameroonian origin, was coach of the training categories at AS Bondy, the club in the town of the 'banlieue' of the capital where the family lived.

The sports culture was at home.

'LIBERTE, EGALITÉ, MBAPPÉ'

While Wilfried has guided his son's sporting growth, Fayza has taken care of the rest, the image or the legal issues related to the contracts, well advised by the lawyer

.

In the march to Monaco, for example, the opinion of his father was key, understanding that to mature footballingly he would be better off away from Paris, with less pressure.

His return, at the age of 18, never ceased to generate the same doubts.

When they assaulted Mbappé, her mother used to tell him: "We're from Bondy!"

tough people.

At 23 years old and already world champion, he does not hesitate to repeat it whenever necessary.

Mbappé has become independent but regularly visits each of his parents.

Bondy, to the west of the city, is like many other places on the other side of the Périphérique, the great ring road of Paris.

There are many working-class or marginal neighborhoods in which French internationals have been raised who exemplify that 'France blanche, noir et vert' that irritates the National Front so much.

The PSG footballer and Benzema have it, as the Real Madrid player had it with Zidane.

It doesn't matter if they come from Paris, Lyon or Marseille.

The code is the same.

The connection has been made clear after the return of the second to the selection.

If the madridista is in good condition, tonight they will face his game, as colossal as it is complementary.

Both want to do it together in Madrid in the same way that they do it in the national team.

After the Valbuena case, this Benzema, mature and discreet, is Neymar's nemesis and the model that Mbappé wants to approach.
