Shocking Twist: PSG Reportedly Accepted Premier League Bid for Kylian Mbappe Before Madrid Move
The summer transfer window saw one of the biggest shocks in recent football history, as Kylian Mbappe left Paris Saint-Germain for Real Madrid. But, what if we told you that PSG had already accepted a bid from a Premier League club for the French superstar before he made the switch to Los Blancos?
It’s a bombshell that has sent shockwaves through the football world, and we’re here to break down the details. According to Portuguese journalist Bruno Andrade, PSG had accepted at least two offers for Mbappe, one from a Premier League club and another from Al Hilal, but there was no agreement between all parties.
The news comes as a surprise to many, given Mbappe’s impressive performances for PSG and his loyalty to the French capital. However, it’s clear that the Qatari owners of PSG were willing to sell the 25-year-old, with Andrade claiming that they gave Mbappe an ultimatum: either stay at PSG and not play, or leave for Madrid.
Fast-forward to the present, and Mbappe is thriving at Real Madrid, scoring a stunning goal in the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta. Speaking at his Madrid presentation, Mbappe thanked the club’s president, Florentino Pérez, for believing in him, and expressed his desire to achieve another dream – to win trophies with the Spanish giants.
But, what does this mean for the Premier League club that had bid for Mbappe? Well, it’s clear that they were willing to shell out big bucks for the Frenchman, but ultimately came up short. It’s a lesson to be learned for any club looking to land a top talent – you’ve got to be willing to put in the work and make the right offer to stand a chance.
As the transfer window closes, we can’t help but wonder what could have been. Would Mbappe have thrived in the Premier League, or would he have struggled to adapt to the intense pressure and scrutiny of English football?
