00:00 Did you make a definitive mark on Kylian's presence for these games?
00:05 And what was the tone of the discussions with Florentino Perez when you met him a few days ago in Paris,
00:11 with the President of the Republic and the President of the Federation?
00:14 No, you don't make a mark in the hope.
00:19 We don't know what will happen until July 3rd.
00:22 But at some point I have to give you a realistic list.
00:25 Personally, that's me.
00:30 I don't want to do things that are not real, even if they are virtual.
00:35 I know it's hard to be more in the moment than not.
00:41 Even if the list can change, even if everything is open for everyone.
00:45 I've said it before, but you have to give a list so that people can prepare.
00:49 Players, clubs, me, you, everyone.
00:53 So yes, you don't close the door to anyone.
00:59 That's clear.
01:00 After the discussions, there are no discussions.
01:03 That's exactly it.
01:05 You come, you ask, you are told no and you leave.
01:08 What did you say?
01:10 The people you don't see there, it's that there were no's in relation to the club.
01:15 To the club, I repeat.
01:17 I was laughing with Kylian, it's not funny, but the last time I was rejected that much, I was in high school.
01:23 Real Madrid were very direct with the possibility of Kylian Mbappé going to the list or did they give you hope?
01:32 The people I spoke to were very direct.
01:38 - Yeah. - Right.
