Recent reports suggest growing frustration within Real Madrid regarding Kylian Mbappé’s performances after his high-profile transfer. Despite immense fanfare surrounding the signing, the club is reportedly “gutted” by his lackluster impact on the pitch. Sources indicate that Mbappé has not delivered the expected game-changing influence, leading some in Madrid to regret the decision to bring him on board. Although he was viewed as a transformative player, only a few club officials strongly advocated for his signing, creating internal debate over the decision.
Critics argue that Mbappé’s form has not justified his significant transfer fee and salary. Even though he was expected to boost Madrid’s dominance both domestically and in Europe, his contribution has fallen short of the hype, fueling speculation that the club may reconsider its long-term plans regarding his role.
The situation is made more complicated by the team’s existing star power, especially players like Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, who have become the focal points of Real Madrid’s attacking strategy. Mbappé’s arrival was expected to complement their dynamic, but instead, the balance seems disrupted, with questions about how he fits into manager Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical setup.
Moreover, Mbappé’s move to Madrid followed prolonged transfer sagas and speculation regarding his future at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), with the player expressing his desire to leave PSG for Madrid multiple times. This has added pressure on the French star to perform, considering how heavily Real Madrid invested in bringing him in after years of pursuit. However, the early signs suggest that the move may not have been as fruitful as hoped.
