"Mbappé was already looking forward to playing for Madrid a few years ago"

Between 2016 and 2018, Unai Emery was in charge of PSG. Mbappé and company were at his command.

And already at that time there was speculation that Mbappé would move to Madrid. Emery confessed that he already knew that the Frenchman was excited by this idea.

"When he was in Paris, Mbappé contemplated very seriously going to Real Madrid because it is a club that he likes very much, he was very eager to play there," he said in 'El Partidazo de COPE'.

However, Emery arranged for him to stay at the Parc des Princes: "I didn't want him to leave and I had a conversation with him and his father to convince him that he should stay. Leaving Paris is not easy," he confessed.

These statements come at a time when in France they already see Mbappé far from Paris. The French press predicts that Madrid, Juve, Liverpool and Barcelona will fight for his transfer in the summer of 2021.
