Achraf went on 'La Resistencia' and David Broncano took the opportunity to ask him about the 'Mbappe soap opera'. He commented that he already knew what he would do before some of his teammates, as he has a great relationship with the striker. And he sent a message to Florentino Perez, who was left wanting to bring him to Madrid. He wished him luck for the Champions League and encouraged him to go for another 'galactico'.

Kylian Mbappe decided to renew his contract with PSG until 2025 and rejected Madrid. He personally took it upon himself to inform Florentino Perez, the head of Real Madrid, of his decision. "I called him before and told him that I had decided to stay," explained Mbappe himself.

Achraf, speaking on 'La Resistencia', commented on how he found out the news. "The teammates found out on the pitch. I, as I have a friendship with him, well... a few days before", he commented.

The defender kept quiet and left it to Mbappe to drop the bombshell. "I've received messages from people who hadn't written to me for a long time. They said 'what's your friend going to do', and when he broke the news, they said 'you're a bastard'," he said with a laugh.

David Broncano, presenter of the programme, told him to send a message to Florentino Perez and Achraf did so: "Well, nothing, 'tito Floren', I want to tell you a lot of encouragement... I hope you go for another great signing, and good luck on Saturday in the Champions League".
