Florentino Pérez will discuss with Kylian Mbappé
According to MarcaFlorentino Pérez and Kylian Mbappé must meet urgently to clarify the situation after recent tensions and the Frenchman’s controversial statements. The president of Real Madrid is worried about Mbappé’s repeated gestures which distance the striker from the group and which his teammates do not understand. Mbappé is still considered a key piece and the best player by Florentino, but at Real Madrid no one is indispensable, as the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos have proven in the past, albeit in a different context. The club wants to restore order, a mission that will fall to the new coach, even if drastic solutions can be considered.
