Perez witnessed Madrid’s 4-1 victory over Barcelona on Sunday, with Vinicius Junior’s first-half hat-trick securing a memorable Clasico win.
Post-game celebrations focused on congratulating Madrid’s players, and Perez refrained from discussing a potential move for Mbappe, stating, “It’s really not the day to talk about this; it’s the day to congratulate the players we have, not those other teams have.
“Mbappe’s PSG contract expires soon, and Madrid is eager to secure his signature.
However, PSG aims to retain their talisman, working to persuade him to sign a new deal.
Despite potential concerns about losing Mbappe on a free transfer, an earlier agreement between Mbappe and PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi ensures a significant sum of money will be returned to the club if he chooses to depart this summer.
The potential integration of Mbappe into a Madrid side already featuring an outstanding left-sided forward in Vinicius raises uncertainties.
Speculations about parting ways with Vinicius to accommodate Mbappe have circulated, but Perez swiftly reiterated his commitment to Vinicius.
“He shines almost always; today he deserved it and he is very happy,” affirmed the president.
“The effort he makes in each game is phenomenal, making him one of the best in the world.
He is very young, happy, and exceptionally talented, with continuous improvement expected each year.
“Reflecting on their triumphant Supercopa run, Perez concluded, “We played exceptionally well in both games, scoring goals and providing entertainment for the fans.
We’ve showcased a great team, and every year, we are committed to working hard to instill hope in our hundreds of millions of fans.”
