Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, has claimed he no longer even reads about Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe.
According to recent reports the forward was angry with the Ligue 1 club and wanted to leave in January but Mbappe said that he had not asked to be sold.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid attempted to sign the forward at the end of last season, but, instead, he chose to sign a new contract with PSG.
What Did Perez Say About Mbappe?
“It’s not that it bores me. I don’t even read about it now,” Perez told radio station Cadena Ser early on Tuesday after the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris.
“You don’t know what can happen in the future, but the forwards at Real Madrid are progressing at a spectacular rate, year by year,” continued Perez.
“Rodrygo and Vinicius are two great players, young, they have their lives in front of them to prosper. Madrid are only focused on the players that we have. And we love them.”

Benzema, who scored 44 goals in 46 games, was heralded as the world’s best player. “Benzema deserves the Ballon d’Or,” added Perez.
“He’s been the best player for the last three or four years. He’s a number nine that’s a mix of Ronaldo Nazario and Zinedine Zidane.
“He does two jobs at once, pulling the strings in attack like Zidane and he shoots like Ronaldo did.”
Karim Benzema won the men’s trophy, while winger Vinicius Junior was eighth in the rankings.
