In the storm with its complicated news, Kylian Mbappé can count on the support of Real Madrid and even an entire country which does not comment on its Swedish problems.
Diplomatic injury with France but not Real Madrid, turbulent escapade in Sweden and head-on war with PSG over his unpaid salary, Kylian Mbappé is at the heart of the news, and this goes far beyond the framework of football. France is clearly shaken by everything that is happening around its child prodigy, whose love rating has continued to decline since he helped the Blues reach the Grail in 2018. A status called into question, to the point that the simple fact that he wears the captain’s armband is no longer so certain, or is at least strongly contested by certain consultants and former players.
Real did not erase Kylian Mbappé
On the other hand, it is quite the opposite in Spain, where support for the new Real Madrid player is total. According to Spanish insiders close to the club, the denial pronounced by Kylian Mbappé on social networks is authentic and demonstrates that the French striker has all the confidence of Florentino Pérez and the Merengue club. And yet, this Tuesday, a photo made the headlines on the other side of the Pyrenees, with the disappearance of Kylian Mbappé from a photo highlighting the Adidas foundation. But the explanation quickly fell on the side of Madrid, where the fact that the number 9 of Casa Blanca is no longer in the photo can be explained by a disagreement with its equipment supplier, Nike, a competitor of the German firm, confirms its Relevo side.
Details which symbolize the fact that the Spanish press has been fully behind Kylian Mbappé since his signing for Real. The fact that he is not performing very well on the pitch apart from scoring goals, that he is having difficulty being with Vinicius or that he is skipping the French team to devote himself to Madrid, has not prevented a major support campaign from the Iberian media, including often critical programs like El Chiringuito. For its part, Marca does not discuss its problems in Sweden. And on this Tuesday when the Frenchman’s news is boiling, it is above all the behavior of PSG which refuses to pay him the salaries he owes him, which is attracting criticism in Spain.
