President Perez also tried to convince Mbappe, trying to negotiate with PSG to make a transfer worth 100 million euros when the striker 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1998 only had one year left on his contract. Mbappe’s final decision is to stay at PSG.
Further, Real was determined to recruit Mbappe in the summer of 2017. At that time, the French international had a brilliant first season in the AS Monaco shirt. President Perez personally convinced Mbappe to come to Madrid, but the striker chose a safer move than PSG.
