AURELIEN TCHOUAMENI REVEALS HOW KYLIAN MBAPPE TRIED TO CONVINCE HIM TO JOIN PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN
Aurelien Tchouameni who recently joined Real Madrid has narrated how Mbappe wanted him to sign for PSG
New Real Madrid signing Aurelien Tchouameni has disclosed how Kylian Mbappe urged him to join French club Paris Saint-Germain.
The 22-year-old completed his switch from French side Monaco to Real Madrid, signing a six-year contract with Los Blancos, taking him until the summer of 2028.
Tchouameni expressed delight following his move to the Santiago Bernabeu and thanked the club’s president, as well as his agent and family members, for making such a mega transfer a reality.
He said:
“I am very happy to be here and begin my story with Real Madrid, the best club in the world. I am very happy and ready to work hard and continue winning titles for this club. I want to thank the president, my agent and my family for being here.”
The promising midfielder has been tipped to become a major force in Spain with Football Espana claiming the player completes a “six-man depth chart in the engine room that will be the envy of the rest of the European elite – himself, Luka Modric, Casemiro, Toni Kroos, Fede Valverde and compatriot Eduardo Camavinga.”
Tchouameni speaks on Mbappe’s gesture
During his unveiling at the Spanish capital, Tchoumani stated that his fellow compatriot Mbappe wanted him to join PSG, but he told the striker he was interested in Madrid.
“Kylian Mbappe spoke to me and asked me if I could come to Paris. But I told him I want to join Real Madrid – my choice was always Madrid.
“He understood my decision and he is happy for me. Camavinga told me: ‘You have to join us at Real. Come here!’”
