Sarkozy expresses disapproval of Mbappe's transfer from PSG to Real Madrid

He said, "I can empathize with his desire to leave and pursue his dream, but I find it challenging to comprehend the method he chose to do so. Nevertheless, I respect his decision."

However, Sarkozy also suggested PSG were stronger as a team without the France striker.

He also told Le Parisien: "Their (PSG) collective game prevails over the individual quality of the player."
