Real Madrid: someone close to Florentino Pérez slams Kylian Mbappé

The situation is becoming increasingly tense for Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid. The former Paris Saint-Germain striker is facing growing criticism in Madrid.

The international break this month once again brought its share of controversy surrounding Kylian Mbappé. Journalists have been letting loose. Josep Pedrerol, the famous presenter of the El Chiringuito de Jugones show and a close ally of Madrid president Florentino Pérez, has piled more criticism on the Bondy native.

“In two seasons, Real Madrid have won nothing with him. PSG won everything. He wants the Ballon d’Or, which is fine, but Real Madrid want more. They want a Mbappé who identifies with the club, who works for the club, who feels the colours, to see him genuinely training, and for him to make headlines because of what happens on the pitch, not off it. He is losing, if he ever had it, the love of madridismo, and that is the worst thing that can happen to a player. He must think about what he wants and where he wants to go,” Pedrerol said.
