Every time you see him in a press room it seems like the world could end (football and media), but everything keeps rolling and nothing has changed after a new appearance by
Kylian Mbappé
. The French striker, who will be part of the friendly match against the German team tomorrow, was the protagonist of the preview from
Clairefontaine
, the headquarters of the French Federation. And no, he didn't say anything about
Real Madrid
. Or if?
Without an official announcement about his future, the
PSG
attacker forces those present to read his words between the lines. "
I haven't announced anything because I had nothing to announce
," he began. A sentence in which there is not much to tear, to the regret of journalists. But from there, the Bondy footballer began to shed light on the coming months.
"I will concentrate on the French team when the Eurocup arrives.
By then everything will be resolved
," he said about the dates of the announcement of his next team. Let us remember that in February the player assured
Al-Khelaifi
that he was going to leave PSG this summer. You already know his intention: to wear white.
That chronology, an official presentation before concentrating with the French team for the Euro, is the one desired by Madrid itself, which sees no other suitable date on the calendar. The continental tournament ends on
July 14
, with Madrid already in full preseason, a few days later the Madrid tour of the
United States begins and at the end of July the
Olympic Games
begin
, the other topic of debate around Mbappé.
The footballer, captain of his team,
wants to play in his country's Games
, which are held from July 26 to August 11, a week before the start of the League. Madrid has already made it clear that the internationals who compete in the Euro Cup or the Copa América will not be in the Games, but Mbappé, who already seems to speak like a Madrid fan, admits that it is his "
dream
."
"I don't know anything about that (whether it can be in the Games or not), but I have always said that it is a dream, they are special. I have the same ambition, but it does not depend on me.
The final decision is up to one person
," he acknowledged. . Knowing that Madrid is the one that opposes his presence, we can guess that that person is the head of the white team, Florentino Pérez. "
I can't give any more opinion
. If I couldn't play, I would accept it and do what they told me," he added, insisting that since "I have never linked Euro and Games, I don't know if it poses a risk."
Furthermore, he admitted to not being "affected" by the pressure on his future. "
Have you seen me affected
? I am always focused on what happens on the field. My goal is always to perform in games. I am not responsible for what is said outside," he declared.
