“10 Billion, We’d Have Taken It” – Kylian Mbappe’s Mum Fayza Lamari Doesn’t Regret Ditching Real Madrid for PSG in 2022

Kylian Mbappe, who is currently in discussions with Real Madrid, reportedly had a significant chance to join the Spanish club in 2022. However, he ultimately decided to sign a new contract with PSG. Reflecting on this decision, Mbappe’s mother and agent, Fayza Lamari, has expressed that she harbors no regrets and would have even accepted an unprecedented amount to secure the deal.

The ongoing Mbappe-Real Madrid saga has become a never-ending soap opera, with the storyline stretching back to 2021. Presently, Los Blancos is making efforts to secure a deal with the French forward, enabling him to join their team as a free agent during the upcoming summer transfer window. This echoes the events of 2022, which unfortunately did not play out in their favor.

PSG had offered a lot more to keep Mbappe than Real Madrid did when they tried to sign him

Kylian Mabppe and his mother will soon be featured on the French television program, ‘Envoye Special’. In a preview of the show obtained by Le Parisien newspaper, Fayza Lamari expressed no regrets about turning down Real Madrid and sticking with PSG in 2022. “There is no guilt and no shame,” stated the 49-year-old.

She further added, “If we could have taken 10 billion, we would have taken it, because that’s how the system works.” In 2022, the Spanish side reportedly offered a yearly salary of $26 million to sign Mbappe. Conversely, PSG offered an astounding yearly salary of $78 million plus loyalty bonuses.

Ultimately, the 25-year-old signed a two-year contract with PSG that includes an option to extend which he has yet to exercise. The contract is due to expire in the summer of 2024, and there is an increasing likelihood of Kylian Mbappe departing from the club considering the alternatives available to him.

Mbappe’s transfer saga: the latest

Kylian Mbappe, whose contract with PSG is at its final stretch, is currently garnering huge interest. In addition to Real Madrid, Liverpool is also interested in acquiring the 2018 World Cup winner. Although soccer analyst Danny Murphy has dismissed this possibility, the Premier League team remains interested in securing his signature.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, is growing impatient and supposedly exploring alternative options, even supposedly considering Erling Haaland, but their pursuit of the PSG star is not yet completely concluded. Just like other transfer windows, the Kylian Mbappe situation is still very much unpredictable.
