Surprise in France: Mbappé’s Potential Madrid Move at Risk Due to Neymar

In a surprising twist, Kylian Mbappé may not sign with Real Madrid, and the culprit might be Neymar. The Bondy striker could turn down the opportunity to don the white jersey, and the unexpected reason behind it has caught many off guard.

Real Madrid had set their sights on securing Kylian Mbappé’s transfer in the summer of 2024. However, this anticipated move could be jeopardized by an unexpected figure – Neymar Jr. According to statements from French journalist Daniel Riolo, the former PSG ’10’ has left a more profound impact on Bondy’s attacker than meets the eye, and their personal relationship has noticeably deteriorated in recent seasons.

As a result, Kylian Mbappé might decline the offer to join Real Madrid due to the presence of two prominent stars in the Florentino Pérez-led club’s dressing room: Vinícius Jr. and Rodrygo Goes. The connection between the Brazilian ‘7’ and ’11,’ closely linked with Neymar Jr., would be a factor against signing the French superstar during the upcoming summer transfer window.

“The idea of ending up in a team with two Brazilians who were very, very close to Neymar when you know the relationship Neymar and Mbappé had, I have doubts that it would work perfectly well,” stated Riolo during an RMC Sport program, further complicating Mbappé’s potential move. He also acknowledged, “If I were Real Madrid, I don’t see why I would sign him, knowing the signings we have made and are going to make.”

Reasons for Refusal: In addition to questioning how Kylian Mbappé would fit into Real Madrid’s current squad, Riolo unveiled insights from Poissy’s offices regarding the French forward’s immediate sporting future: “PSG believes he will renew; he has never said otherwise, so maybe he’ll stay in his lane, which is why not go to Real Madrid.”

Daniel Riolo’s statements, adding to the plethora of rumors surrounding the ‘Mbappé case’ since November, contribute to the uncertainty surrounding a decision that is yet to be clear in the personal circle of the Parisian ‘7’ as the winter transfer window approaches—a time when Real Madrid might make a pre-contract offer to the Bondy striker.
