If you asked me 15 days ago I would have said yes because he [Mbappe] had more or less agreed with Real Madrid."He had received an advance of 40 million of the signing-on premium in December.

Everything was signed in a pre-agreement since last year when he was going to make the transfer."HAVE YOUR SAY! Was Kylian Mbappe right to snub a move to Real Madrid?
