Florentino Pérez to Discuss with Kylian Mbappé
According to Marca, Florentino Pérez and Kylian Mbappé must meet urgently to clarify the situation following recent tensions and controversial statements from the Frenchman. The President of Real Madrid is concerned about Mbappé’s actions that distance the striker from the group and are not understood by his teammates. Mbappé is still considered a key piece and the best player by Florentino, but at Real Madrid, nobody is indispensable, as seen in the past with the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos, albeit in a different context. The club wants to restore order, a mission that will fall to the new coach, even if drastic solutions may be considered.
