PSG Superstar Kylian Mbappe was caught watching Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid during a charity gala. The Frenchman was keeping an eye on the Copa del Rey match along with Achraf Hakimi.
On Thursday, Strong3r Foundation held a charity gala at the exclusive 'Pavillon Gabriel' in Paris. PSG stars were in attendance, with Lionel Messi and Presnel Kimpembe also spotted at the event.
The Frenchman was sat at a table but was more focused on the Madrid derby in the Copa del Rey. Real Madrid edged out a win over Atletico Madrid with Vinicius Jr scoring a solo goal in the final minute of extra time to get them the 3-1 win.
Kylian Mbappe still keen on Real Madrid move
Kylian Mbappe was close to joining Real Madrid last year but decided to sign a new contract at PSG instead. Los Blancos were left furious with the decision as they believed they were close to getting the forward on a free transfer.
Speaking to BBC soon after the move, the Frenchman claimed that he had not given up on his dream of playing for Real Madrid. He said:
"Never over, never over. The only thing is that now I have signed a contract for three years more. You never know what can happen in the future. I give up to think about the future, I only think about the present and the present is I signed a new contract for three years more at Paris Saint-Germain."
Mbappe admitted that he spoke to Florentino Perez after his u-turn at signing a new deal with PSG. He said:
"I spoke to the president of Real Madrid because I have a lot of respect for him and the club. I think it was important to say it personally that I wasn't going to go. To be a great player [you have] to be honest and everything was great and good because we have a good relationship."
Real Madrid are reportedly still interested in signing Kylian Mbappe but have set conditions for the move. They want him to lower his wage demands and hand in a transfer request to seal the move.
