Florentino Perez comments on Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid transfer rumours

Florentino Perez has insisted that signing Kylian Mbappe now would make 'no sense' for Real Madrid.

Los Blancos tried to sign Mbappe earlier this year, and were seemingly close to doing so before the forward changed his mind at the last minute and and signed a new contract at Paris Saint-Germain

Now though, 90min understands that the Frenchman has asked to leave PSG, unhappy with the transfer business they conducted in the summer and his current role in the team.

As a result, talk has inevitably re-start about Mbappe joining Carlo Ancelotti's side, but Perez says his club aren't planning to make such a move. With the young attacking talent already at the club, the club president has stated that attempting to sign Mbappe wouldn't make sense.

"I’m not even paying attention to the rumours. We had a good summer of rumours and gossip and all of that is pointless now," he said.

"Signing him makes no sense for us now, our attackers are developing in a great way. Vinicius and Rodrygo are two formidable players. I see them both as potential Ballon D’Or winners, we have to see how they keep developing.

"We’re only focusing on the players we have now and we’re doing just fine. [Eduardo] Camavinga, [Federico] Valverde, [Eder] Militao and [Aurelien] Tchoauemeni are young and have a promising future ahead of them.”

Perez also took some time to discuss Karim Benzema, the man who just won his first Ballon d'Or, saying that his triumph is well overdue:

“At last Benzema got the recognition he deserves as the world’s best player. He has been deserving this for many years because he’s been the best over the last three or four seasons," he said.

"He’s a combination of Ronaldo and Zidane, he does those two jobs at the same time. He moves the offensive line the way Zidane did and shoots the way Ronaldo Nazario did."
