Kylian Mbappe has always been involved in strengthening PSG to try to improve the quality of the team with the aim of winning the Champions League. Le Parisien newspaper revealed that the French striker tried to convince Lewandowski to sign this summer and not go to Barcelona.
Now, the same newspaper confirms that Mbappe pressured Frenkie de Jong at the beginning of 2019 to go to Paris Saint-Germain and stop listening to the offer made by Barcelona. Finally, the Dutchman did not listen to the French player’s request and ended up joining the Blaugrana club.
According to “Le Parisien”, Mbappe spoke to Frenkie de Jong personally in the first months of 2019. He asked him not to rush his decision and only assess his future once the Champions League was over, at which point Paris Saint-Germain was the closest to signing him with an irresistible offer of millions. dollars.
De Jong listened to Mbappe and hesitated, but the sudden flight of the Blaugrana leaders at the time, led by former president Josep Maria Bartomeu, was a coup for De Jong to end up signing with Barcelona.
After this situation, Mbappe was impressed when he realized that many elite players would prefer to refuse money from PSG to go to other sporting projects.
The same thing happened last summer with Lewandowski and also with Tchoamine. The French player renewed his contract with Paris Saint-Germain and asked the board of directors to sign Aurelien, but they told him that it would be impossible because he signed with Madrid.
Mbappe called Tchoameni on several occasions to ask him not to go to Real Madrid, but it all came to nothing. Mbappe complains about all these frustrating efforts, considering that his club has not done everything in its power to build a reliable project.
