Real Madrid president Perez says Mbappe 'changed his dream'

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has spoken out for the first time in public since Kylian Mbappe snubbed the club to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.

Perez in an interview on El Chiringuito said the Mbappe he had spoken to about a possible deal, was not the same player who made a dramatic U-turn when he previously looked set to move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

He revealed that he found out about Mbappe's change of heart about 15 days before signing the mega-deal which kept him in the French capital.

As per Marca, Perez said: 'His dream was to play at Real Madrid, we wanted to do it last August and they didn't let him leave, he kept saying he wanted to play at Madrid and like 15 days before he changed the situation.

'This is not the Mbappe I wanted to bring, he is another one, who must have changed his dream. 

'He changes, he is offered other things, he is pressured and he is already another footballer. There is no one at Real Madrid above the club. 

'He is a great player, he can win more than others, but it is a collective sport and we have values and principles that we cannot change', he added.
