Reports suggest tension is rising inside Real Madrid over Kylian Mbappe despite his goal contributions this season. Some teammates are unhappy with his limited defensive work, training attitude, and recent Italy vacation during injury concerns.

While Vinicius Junior still has support in the squad, questions are growing over Mbappe’s overall commitment to the club.

As the pressure continues to rise at Real Madrid CF, fresh reports suggest that not everyone inside the club is happy with Kylian Mbappé despite his goal-scoring numbers this season. The French forward arrived at the club with massive expectations, but his overall impact has reportedly divided opinion in the dressing room. According to reports from journalist Jorge C. Picón, several Real Madrid players are frustrated with Mbappe’s lack of defensive contribution, believing his work rate without the ball has hurt the team’s balance. 

Concerns have also reportedly grown after images surfaced of the forward vacationing in Italy while recovering from injury, with some players questioning the seriousness of his fitness issue. The report adds that while Vinícius Júnior maintains a good relationship with Mbappe, other squad members see the Brazilian as a bigger leader within the group. Many reportedly value Vinicius more because of his commitment, effort in training, and emotional connection with the club. 

Real Madrid’s difficult season has only intensified these tensions, especially with former club rivals and Paris Saint-Germain F.C. enjoying strong campaigns. Whether these dressing room concerns are fully accurate or not, the ongoing speculation is creating more unwanted noise around the Santiago Bernabéu.
