PSG missed opportunity to profit from Mbappé transfer? Former director reveals details

Paris Saint-Germain made considerable efforts to keep Kylian Mbappé from joining Real Madrid, but in the end, they lost both their star forward and the chance to make money from the transfer, as Mbappé left as a free agent. However, it turns out PSG once had a significant opportunity to secure a transfer fee.

Details: Former PSG director Leonardo shared that in 2021, Real Madrid made an offer directly to PSG. However, the club rejected the proposal, despite Leonardo’s stance in favor of the transfer.

Quote: “I was against this decision, at the level it was done. From the very beginning. I even think they should have sold him at the end of the 2020-2021 season when PSG had Real’s offer, and he only had one year left on his contract,” Leonardo stated in an interview with Le Figaro.

Reminder: Following Mbappé’s departure, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was reportedly involved in spreading damaging rumors about the player, including allegations of misconduct. Additionally, the club still reportedly owes Mbappé around 50 million euros in unpaid dues.
