Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe admitted he was willing to put aside his dream of playing for the LaLiga club in order to support his brother Ethan’s career with Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite ultimately signing with Real Madrid last summer as a free agent, Mbappe considered staying with PSG to ensure Ethan’s future after he also left the club and joined Lille as a free agent.
Speaking to Canal+, he said: “It’s the thing that affected me the most. He (Ethan) didn’t ask for anything. His Real Madrid was PSG. What Real meant to me, his childhood dream, was PSG. At one point, I even told him, ‘If you want me to, I’ll extend [my contract] and you can stay, we’ll stay here.’ I would have given up my dream of Madrid and stayed for him.”
He added: “Ethan told me, ‘I don’t want to stay here. What they did to you, what they did to me, it’s not normal.’ If he had told me, ‘Kylian, it’s what I want,’ I would have given up my dream of Madrid and stayed for him.”
