While a Champions League conquest might bring a smile to the face of Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al Khelaifi, he recently spoke for the first time about Kylian Mbappé`s move to Real Madrid. The star forward, now wearing the number nine for the merengues, left Paris last June on a free transfer, a situation that reportedly caused significant indignation among the club`s management and supporters.
However, the PSG chairman admitted to having a disagreement with Mbappé (referred to as KM9), also mentioning some friction with former player Neymar. Speaking publicly, Al Khelaifi stated, “I don`t regret anything. I want to thank him (Mbappé) for everything he gave to the club.” He added, “He, Messi, Neymar, all the players, Zlatan (Ibrahimović) – they were very important for the club. We were fortunate this year even without him. But I wish him the best at Real Madrid. He is a big star, a great player. We had a small conflict, but from the bottom of my heart, I wish him the best. Not when he plays against us,” he concluded with an ironic tone.
As current champions of the Champions League [Note: This information appears to be inaccurate based on recent results], Paris Saint-Germain is now preparing for the Club World Cup.
