According to brand, Real Madrid would have thought on Friday to withdraw their offer for PSG striker Kylian Mbappé because a signing already seemed impossible and that it was perceived by the Madrid management as a lack of respect vis-à-vis Real. The club from the Spanish capital would have thought several times of withdrawing from the Mbappé file to place Real Madrid above everything and everyone.
But according to the Spanish daily, it was Florentino Perez himself who wanted to continue the negotiations until the end even if there was no more hope. It was finally Mbappé himself who announced to the president of Real that he was staying at PSG on Saturday, before the formalization of his extension in the capital.
