Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid has the potential to cause fireworks – but not necessarily in a positive way, according to a French legend.
Mbappé is one of three French players to have scored in a World Cup final, with a hat-trick in the final of the 2022 edition, while another member of this elite group has questioned his decision to join the Bernabeu. Emmanuel Petit, who played for clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea and, for one season, Barcelona, claims the PSG star’s impending move to Madrid could go wrong.
“If Mbappé goes to Madrid, it could be a problem, not only in terms of salary in the dressing room, but also in terms of leadership”declared the author of the last French goal in the 1998 World Cup final to AS.
Little tired by Mbappé
“ Bellingham has been incredible, as has Vinicius, and if Mbappé goes to Madrid he will have to play as a striker, as he did recently at PSG. But we all know that’s not his best position. There are many questions and no answers. »
“We are all tired in France. Every six months, it’s always the same story on the table. How are you ? Are you going to stay? Is he happy? Did you have a good breakfast this morning? Did he relieve himself correctly? In France too, we have had enough. I can understand that the players are also upset by this situation, because all the attention is always on Mbappé. We don’t talk about PSG, we always talk about Mbappé. “ So it can be a problem for some players to deal with this situation.”
