“I am not Cameroonian. I am French – Kylian Mbappe
At the beginning of my career when I was still in the shadows, my father called on fecafoot to make me play for the national team of Cameroon.
We’ve been asked a large sum of money to get on the team. So my father was disgusted he turned to the French team, this France that gave me a chance to show what I can do. Today I am the most expensive player in the world Cameroon is calling for me, they are awarding me a nationality that is not my own. I’m French and I’ll stay French”.
The 25-year-old completed a free transfer to European champions Real on Monday having refused to extend his contract at PSG, who initially kept him away from the first team during pre-season after he refused to commit to a new contract.
