Real Madrid: worrying revelations about Kylian Mbappé

In recent weeks, Kylian Mbappé has come under increasing criticism at Real Madrid. The Frenchman’s antics during this international break have once again irritated many fans and journalists in the Spanish capital.

Josep Pedrerol, a well-known journalist close to Madrid president Florentino Pérez, even spoke out to take a swipe at the Frenchman. According to Daniel Riolo, this is not insignificant, as he explained on RMC Sport.

“He is right in what he says, but if he says it, that means Real want to send him a message. The bicycle episode is ‘a pearl in the necklace’. I’ve reached the point of asking myself: does Mbappé still want this? What does he want? You get the impression that he wakes up every morning thinking: ‘I’m going to shoot myself in the foot.’ He can’t keep making so many mistakes. I get the impression that he isn’t doing well mentally. When you leave him at the World Cup, everything is fine. He has his friends, he’s enjoying himself, and he gives off a great image. Then the obsession with the Ballon d’Or makes him communicate like this… You upset one of your friends (Ousmane Dembélé); it’s a shame to do it, but you do it. There was an explanation that wasn’t really there. Stop! You’re giving buckets of water to your haters. The fact that there’s no one in his circle to tell him this leads me to the conclusion that he isn’t doing well. His private life has changed; he has the right to be in love, but does he want something else? Football is tiring him, everything happening around him and the expectations are tiring him at a time when he is changing sponsors amid a major controversy. I don’t understand how he manages himself or who the people around him are who do the thinking. I don’t understand what he wants to do, this attitude, this distancing himself from everyone. Be careful: the fact that Pedrerol is speaking like this… Let’s not rule out a departure at the end of the season,” the French pundit said.
