Kylian Mbappe's high-profile transfer to Real Madrid has sparked excitement and doubts. After joining on a five-year contract worth £12.8m per year, plus an £85m signing bonus, the pressure is on to deliver.
Mbappe's impressive PSG record (256 goals in 308 appearances) makes him the club's all-time leading scorer. However, leaving PSG presents new challenges.French football journalist Jonathan Johnson notes that Mbappe has achieved everything in France and seeks new challenges at Real Madrid.
At Real Madrid, Mbappe faces stiff competition from established players like Vinicius and Rodrygo. Spanish football journalist Semra Hunter suggests Mbappe's position depends on Carlo Ancelotti's tactics, but sees potential for a two-pronged attack with Vinicius and Mbappe. Currently Kylian Mbappe has 7 goals in 11 appearances for Real Madrid across all competitions but his performance is seen to be low as he was on a stellar performance at PSG.
The French fans are currently furious with Kylian as he is not included in the Nation`s Squad for the Nation League matches. The reason Kylian Mbappe isn't playing for France in the Nations League right now is that he has a mild hamstring issue. Didier Deschamps, the coach of France, chose not to take the chance of hurrying him back into international action, even though he has now returned to play for Real Madrid in the Champions League .Deschamps clarified that while Mbappe's issue isn't significant, he still needs the right care and relaxation to fully recuperate. Following a discussion between Deschamps and Mbappe, they decided it would be preferable to avoid taking any chances.
It's important to note that Mbappe's circumstances have drawn criticism in France, with some doubting his dedication to the national team—especially given that he serves as captain. Deschamps, though, has stated that he is confident in Mbappe's commitment to France.
Regaining his form hinges on Mbappe's ability to adapt and gel with teammates. With his lucrative contract and impressive track record, all eyes are on him to deliver. Can he live up to the hype? Time will tell.
