Why it matters
As one of the world's most high-profile athletes, Mbappé's struggles at a major club like Real Madrid impact global sports media narratives and transfer market valuations.
Criticism of Kylian Mbappé's conduct and situation at Real Madrid is intensifying in France, with MARCA reporting on 8 October that L'Équipe and RMC Sport journalist Daniel Riolo have raised concerns about his communication and future at the club. Separately, Transfermarkt reported on 7 October that Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Manchester City attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki, though neither a Madrid departure nor a move for Cherki is confirmed. Mbappé's public comments and role at Real Madrid have also drawn attention in recent weeks, adding to the scrutiny around his place in the side.
MARCA's report describes growing concern in France over Mbappé's situation at Real Madrid. It says L'Équipe views his attitude as overly individualistic and his handling of public communication as a source of increasing unease around the club. Those are assessments reported by the French newspaper, not an established account of Real Madrid's internal position.
