Neymar Expresses Jealousy: Criticizes Mbappé After Real Madrid Deal Closure

The Brazilian star’s actions haven’t gone unnoticed.

The potential signing of Kylian Mbappé by Real Madrid has stirred even more controversy with Neymar Jr.’s activity on social media, taking a veiled jab at his former teammate.

The possible transfer of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid has sparked numerous reactions, including from those who have shared the pitch with him for many years. The latest to speak out has a complicated relationship with the Bondy-born forward.

And it hasn’t been in good terms, as the relationship between Mbappé and the footballer who launched a ‘dart’ at him through social media deteriorated over the years until he left PSG not long ago.

Kylian Mbappé has received an unexpected criticism from his former teammate for several seasons at PSG: Neymar Jr. The former number 10 of the Rouge et Bleu decided to continue his career at Al-Hilal after finding himself surplus to requirements at Parc des Princes. Since then, he has been trying to return to football, but a serious injury has prevented him.

However, he has kept a close eye on the ‘Mbappé saga’ this year, a soap opera that could end with the Bondy forward wearing the white jersey. It seems that this conclusion doesn’t sit well with the Brazilian winger judging by his activity on the social media platform Instagram. The current Al-Hilal player ‘liked’ a post directly criticizing Kylian Mbappé for the current state of affairs at PSG.

In that post, the author points out that “no player should be above the institution.” He also writes that Nasser Al-Khelaïfi signed “the best players” available on the market and “when the team started to perform, the ego of ‘a certain Frenchman’ began to spoil the atmosphere.” This direct reference to Kylian Mbappé is another episode in a disagreement that has been souring over time.

From Bad to Worse The differences between Neymar Jr. and Kylian Mbappé began to show a couple of years ago, with disagreements through social media like the latest indirect ‘dart’ that the Brazilian forward has sent to his former teammate at Parc des Princes. Friendly competition turned into intensified rivalry… with Leo Messi in between.

The arrival of the Argentine forward at the French stadium didn’t help Neymar Jr. and Mbappé to stop their particular ‘war’ because the Bondy-born striker began to bond on the field with his new teammate, something that bothered Neymar, who had Messi as a great friend since their time together at FC Barcelona. Now Neymar still remembers Kylian Mbappé, who, unlike him, could indeed wear the Real Madrid jersey.
