French talent, Kylian Mbappe tried to explain his big-money move to Paris Saint-Germain from Monaco on Monday after getting fierce backlash from dedicated Monaco fans.
The youngster joined PSG on a season-long loan with an option to buy that would make him the second most expensive player of all-time for a fee that could reach 180 million euros ($214 million).
“I know that a few of you don’t understand my choice and that you’re angry and I understand that,” Mbappe wrote in an emotional statement on Twitter.
“I also understand some boos when we last (met),” he added.
“Because false information circulated throughout the ‘Mbappe soap opera’. But I haven’t changed, my entourage haven’t changed and our values remain the same; humility, simplicity and respect.
“You can be angry, hate me or boo me but you can never stop me from loving you because the truth is there — I love you.”
