Everything Leonardo had to say about Real Madrid's bid for Mbappe

Leonardo did not hold back on Wednesday when speaking to various French media about Real Madrid's €160 million bid for the Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe.

In the interviews, the PSG sporting director attacks Madrid, led by president Florentino Perez, for their conduct. Here are the highlights which appeared in Marca, L'Equipe, Le Parisien, AFP abd RMC:

Unacceptable behaviour

"For the last two years, Real Madrid have been behaving like this, it is not correct, illegal even because they contacted the player. It is unacceptable for us, because it is not correct. It is proof of the strategy: an offer comes one year before the end of his contract and seven days before the end of the window. They want us to reject to show to Kylian that they tried everything and to start negotiating for next year."

Insufficient offer

"We consider the offer to be very far from what Kylian represents today. We also owe part of this money to Monaco and we consider that the offer is not enough.

"I cannot confirm the numbers (€160m), but it is around that. It is less than what we paid for him. But it is above all the way in which Real Madrid have gone about it that we do not like. Kylian has always promised that he would not leave the club for free. That is always what he has said to us."

No to Madrid

"We said no verbally. But we will not hold anyone back. If someone wants to leave and our conditions are met, we will see. But we have created a dream with our players this summer and we will not let anyone destroy it."

Mbappe wants to leave

"Kylian wants to leave, that seems clear. If Real Madrid are making an offer, that seems clear… Me I am giving a position, that, I think, is clear for everyone. We cannot, the week before the end of the window, change our plans. If he wants to leave, we will not hold him back, but on our terms."

New offer

"We do not plan to speak with Real Madrid again. The deadline is Aug. 31 at midnight. That is how the transfer window works, for us it is clear: we keep him and we extend him. But we are not going to allow someone to leave for a fee of less than we paid for him when we still owe Monaco money."
