Real Madrid has no interest in signing Kylian Mbappe, Neymar or Antoine Griezmann this summer, according to club president Florentino Perez.
He revealed that and said Eden Hazard is the only player the club is looking at and every other rumor is a lie.
Perez said to Onda Cero radio, “I have not spoken about Mbappe or Neymar with [Real Madrid coach Zinedine] Zidane or anyone else out of respect for the players that are in other clubs,”
“We haven’t spoken to him [Mbappe] and we will not do so. Last year, as requested by PSG president [Nasser Al-Khelaifi] and due to the volume of rumours circulating on a daily basis in the newspapers here and there regarding Mbappe and Neymar, we announced that we were not interested in any of them. Moreover, if one day we want them, the first thing we will do is speak [between the clubs].”
On Griezmann, Perez said, “Never,”
“He has never been offered to us. We’ve never spoken about signing him. I’ve been asked in recent times whether those rumours were true but it’s not.”
“We have wanted to sign Hazard for some years but up to now, we have not been able to do so,”
“I have hope to have him come this summer. I have a lot of interest in him coming to Real Madrid. We wanted him last year but this time it will be easier as he has one year left on his contract. He is one of the greats that remain in world football.”
“Right now, we are not thinking about players — at least I am not,”
“From the start of July, we will meet with Zidane and see what he wants to do. We will buy and sell. We are going to build a good team.”
