The end of Kylian Mbappé’s season is rather gloomy. There is no doubt that the Frenchman imagined, a few months ago, that he was still in the race to win La Liga and the Champions League at this stage of the season. But Real Madrid has nothing left to play for, and its image has deteriorated considerably among Madrid public opinion. He won’t even be able to catch up during the Clasico. The only satisfaction for him so far: he is still at the top of the Pichichi rankings – the top scorer in La Liga.
However, the international tricolor even risks losing this distinction, more honorary than anything else it must be said. Indeed, Vedat Muriqi comes very strong behind him. This Sunday, the Kosovar scored a goal which allowed Mallorca to obtain a point against Villarreal (1-1). His twenty-second goal of this 2025/2026 financial year in La Liga, while Kylian Mbappé has twenty-four.
Heading to a big club this summer?
It must be said that the former Lazio player has Mallorca at arm’s length. He scored more than half of the goals for the island team, who scored forty-three times in total. Insane statistics, especially for a player playing in a team at the bottom of the table, fifteenth, two small points above the red zone. Suffice to say that it is entirely possible to imagine him equaling or even surpassing Mbappé in the last three, especially since the Frenchman does not seem to have fully recovered from his physical problems and his participation in Real Madrid’s matches against Oviedo, against Sevilla then Athletic is uncertain.
A particularly powerful player in the aerial game – being one of the best in the world in this area – Muriqi therefore has three matches to save his team from relegation on the basis of goals, displaying all his aggression on the field. This is also his main objective, and finishing ahead of Kylian Mbappé will not serve as a consolation prize if his team falls to the second division… And this summer, many clubs should come knocking on his door. There was even talk of interest from FC Barcelona recently, as well as offers from big Turkish and Italian clubs. The next few weeks promise to be exciting for him!
