It has been reported that Real Madrid regrets signing Kylian Mbappe (25).
The British media Daily Mail reported on the 19th (Korea Standard Time) that “Real is not satisfied with the decision to bring Mbappe.”
Real struggled to secure a win earlier this season. However, as time went on, the team recovered, and is currently in second place in La Liga behind Barcelona with 21 points.
Mbappe, who joined Real with high expectations ahead of the 2024-2025 season, performed well with seven goals in 11 matches. However, many critics argue that his performance is not meeting expectations.
French journalist Romain Molina said: “Real regret bringing Mbappe. It’s an unofficial story, but Mbappe’s performance is far from what the club expected.”
Molina also made a shocking statement, saying, “It was the decision of Florentino Perez, the president of the club. Only Perez wanted Mbappe.”
“Mbappe’s performance is not meeting my expectations. The atmosphere in the locker room is also not good. Of course, we cannot blame Mbappe for all these problems. Unlike Jude Bellingham, Mbappe immediately started the game without playing the pre-season,” he said.
Mbappe has played in 11 games and scored seven goals and one assist in all games this season, but he has been a target of criticism from Molina.
Mbappe’s transfer to Real has long been a hot topic in the soccer community. The move goes back to 2017. At that time, Mbappe received worldwide attention while playing for AS Monaco. Several big clubs showed interest in recruiting him, including Real. However, Mbappe chose Paris Saint-Germain, and ended up joining PSG for a transfer fee of 180 million euros.
Real continued to try to recruit Mbappe after that. In particular, it is known that they have prepared a huge amount of money to recruit Mbappe in the summer 2021 transfer market. PSG sent a transfer offer worth about 200 million euros (about 297.6 billion won) to PSG, which refused.
At the time, Mbappe’s contract with PSG was due to expire in the summer of 2022, so Real expected Mbappe to join the team on a free contract.
As summer 2022 approaches, Mbappe’s future has become a hot issue again. Many fans and experts expected him to join Real on a free contract. Mbappe also expressed his affection for Spain and Real several times, creating an atmosphere that the transfer was definitive.
Surprisingly, however, Mbappe chose to extend his contract with PSG at the end of the season. PSG secured him a stay, promising him a huge salary and greater authority within the club.
As Mbappe re-signed with PSG, the transfer window seemed to be coming to an end. However, in the summer of 2024, Mbappe was once again at the center of the transfer market. This time, Mbappe declared that he would not exercise PSG’s option to extend his contract, and the link with Real has been strengthened again. 먹튀검증
In the end, Real succeeded in signing Mbappe. However, even though not much time passed since the opening of this season, voices of regret about Mbappe’s recruitment have already begun to emerge from within Real.
Meanwhile, Swedish media “SVT” reported on the 16th that Mbappe is being investigated for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman after visiting a nightclub in Stockholm. According to the report, Swedish police have secured reasonable grounds for the incident.
Mbappe’s lawyer Marie Alix Canoe Bernard strongly refuted the claim, saying, “This is false news. Mbappe is very shocked by the news,” adding, “He did not commit any wrongdoing.”
