In a new interview in the program 'The Chringuito', the president 'merengue' left clear that the '7' of Paris Saint-Germain remained in France because of "political pressures".

"His dream was to play in the Madrid. We wanted to do it the past August and did not leave him go out; he followed saying that it wanted to come and like 15 days before changed the situation. On the one hand by a political and on the other hand economic pressure. It felt a blockade and had to go out by what easier saw to unblock. To us they transmitted us that it changed", sintetizó Pérez, the one who besides 'excused' to Kylian in front of what considered an immoderate pressure.

"It is not easy that call you the president of the Republic, the mayor of Paris, that do not go you... To a youngster affects him, although it does not have a lot of sense that call him the president of France, there are more clubs there. The president will want that it prosper, but will be able to prosper in a team or in another. This in France. And afterwards in Catar offer you some things that go back you a bit crazy, offer you an influence in the disproportionate sportive appearance for a player... I do not know why they happen these things", argued the mandator of the 'White House'.

However, Florentino wanted to avoid controversies by a possible enmity with the forward. "I have him affection, did an effort and the pressure did him change his circumstances and is not easy.

It changes, they offer him other things, him presionan and already is another footballer. There is not anybody in the Real Madrid above the club. It is a big footballer, can win more than others, but is a collective sport and have some values and some principles that can not them change", puntualizó Peréz.

Besides, it added: "If it is that besides it does not be necessary to give him more turns. He did not want to do an act of conjoint sponsorship (with the selection of France). To me it bumped me, the football is a collective sport, there is not anybody that can be distinct. It had offered him be the leader of the management of the club... And we said this is not the Mbappé that I wanted to bring. It is another, that has had to change of dream. It is very young, the pressure affects us to all", sustained Florentino.
