Mbappe took it easy by snubbing Real Madrid for PSG, claims La Liga president

Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe has come under fire from La Liga president Javier Tebas after he snubbed Real Madrid in the summer.

Almost everyone expected Mbappe to leave the Parisians when his contract expired in July.

He was flirting with the idea of ​​fulfilling his childhood dream of playing for Real Madrid and the stars seemed to have aligned.

However, the France international received an offer he couldn't refuse and signed a new three-year contract with PSG.

Essentially given the GM role, Mbappe is capable of calling the shots from behind the scenes, something Madrid probably haven't thought of offering because it's completely insane.

Real Madrid were obviously a little gutted, although Florentino Perez tried to act like he didn't care.

Los Blancos had tabled a huge offer north of £150m to sign Mbappe in 2022, with less than 12 months left on his contract.

Clearly convinced that the player would renew, PSG refused. It must have required huge balls, I have to admit.

Mbappe is still teasing Real a bit and will surely end up playing for them one day. Probably when his contract expires in three years; unless he is offered the opportunity to become the club's coach.

Speaking in June, Perez told Marca: "His dream was to play at Real Madrid, we wanted to do that last August and they didn't let him go, he kept saying he wanted to play in Madrid and like 15 days before he changed the situation.

"It's not the Mbappe I wanted to bring, it's another one, who had to change his dream.

"He's a great player, he can win more than the others, but it's a team sport and we have values ​​and principles that we can't change."

And La Liga president Tebas has shared his thoughts on the matter, and he's not impressed either.

"If we look at the clubs where they are, we see that they are clubs that pay money," Tebas said.

"Of course we would have liked them to come, but they weren't there last year either.

"Mbappé has stayed in a league that is not competitive."

Ligue 1 is certainly less competitive than La Liga, but it should be noted that there have been as many different champions in France as there have been in Spain since 2017.

Going back any further is relatively pointless given that PSG are very wealthy and seem to have it all figured out now, but I'm going to do it anyway.

There have been three different Spanish champions since 2005, compared to seven different French champions in the same time frame.

I don't want to say too much to disregard Tebas' opinion, because he gives us something to write about in a time when we're hungry for content. Well done, Javier.
