Florentino Perez welcomed Aurelien Tchouameni with a warm speech in which he wanted to make it clear that the player prioritised signing for the club above the money offered from other clubs.
The Real Madrid president’s words immediately brought Kylian Mbappe and PSG. Unconsciously or not, Florentino’s speech was clearly aimed towards the French club and player.
Florentino made it clear that Tchouameni had more than one option on the table and that he chose his dream.
“Dear Aurelien, congratulations, because you are fulfilling your dream of playing for Real Madrid. At the age of 22 you had a choice and you have chosen Real Madrid,” he stated at the presentation.
“Your teammates, Benzema and Camavinga, will have told you about the magic of the Bernabeu. Now you will discover it for yourself.”
He continued to praise Tchouameni’s decision.
“We have a great squad, with players who have won five Champions League titles, but the next challenges will be tough, so we must strengthen ourselves and sign players who believe in this club and who are hungry to win.
“Today begins a stage in your life that you will be proud of. In a few minutes you will wear the shirt of Real Madrid, the one you have chosen.”
Florentino also had words of affection for Monaco, the club from which the player joined.
“We Madridistas are happy that a great talent like you has chosen Real Madrid. You come from a friendly club, like Monaco…,” said the president, who for the umpteenth time underlined his praise for choosing Real Madrid.
