Monaco chief admits Real Madrid still can't get over missing Mbappé | OneFootball

Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev has claimed that Real Madrid chief Florentino Pérez is still harbouring a grudge over their failure to sign Kylian Mbappé.

The teenage sensation left the principality club last summer to sign for Paris Saint-Germain, firstly on a season-long loan which then turned into a €160m move during this summer’s window.

Los Blancos were believed to be one of the clubs most keen on signing the striker, seeing the France international to be the heir to Cristiano Ronaldo’s throne.

However he slipped through their fingers and opted instead to stay in Ligue 1 and join Les Parisiens.

And the Monaco man has admitted that his Madrid counterpart is still giving him grief 12 months on.

“We are friends but every time that I see Florentino Pérez, he always blames me for not selling him Kylian Mbappé,” Vasilyev told RMC Sport.
