Kylian Mbappé’s highly anticipated free transfer to Real Madrid this summer hasn’t gone as smoothly as expected. However, the player revealed he was willing to put his dream move on hold for one important reason.

In an interview with Clique, Mbappé shared that he would have stayed at Paris Saint-Germain for his younger brother, Ethan.

He explained that playing for PSG was Ethan’s dream, and for that reason, the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner was ready to sacrifice his own ambitions to support his brother’s aspirations.

“It happened, and it’s what impacted me the most,” Mbappé said. “For him, PSG was his Real Madrid, and in a way, I took that away from him. He told me he didn’t want to stay, that what they were doing to me wasn’t right. I said to him, ‘If you want to stay, I’ll renew my contract, and we’ll stay together for a while.’

“I would’ve given up my dream of Madrid for him. Ethan is my brother, and what’s the point of joining the best club in the world if it means ruining your brother’s career?”

While it’s an admirable claim to say that the player would’ve stayed at PSG for his brother, one pundit isn’t buying what the player is saying. France Bleu Paris’ Romain Beddouk believes that the Ligue 1 side doesn’t miss the player, who he believes was holding the French club hostage at points during the entire situation regarding his future.

“He claims he would have given up his dream of joining Real Madrid just so his brother Ethan could stay at PSG,” Beddouk said (h/t Foot01). “Do they really expect us to believe that? No way—that was never going to happen.

“Kylian Mbappé took one final jab at PSG and its fans in what was supposed to be a mea culpa interview. And that’s exactly why we don’t miss him. Even with the team struggling now, his comments are a reminder of why we’d never want to return to the chaos he brought. A chaos that so often made PSG the victim.”
