  • Mbappe betrayed PSG all season – Rothen

    Mbappe betrayed PSG all season – Rothen

    Former PSG star Jerome Rothen has hit out at new Real Madrid attacker Kylian Mbappe.

    Mbappe’s move from PSG to the Spanish giants was confirmed this week.

    Rothen told RMC: “He betrayed us all season.

    “Five months have passed since Kylian showed that he didn’t want to make an effort to stay at PSG. It’s not a problem of the coach, the managers, the president, the fans… It’s just a problem of respect.

    “When you put yourself in the category of the best players in the world, you have to have the right attitude. You have to fight for your teammates, for your country, for your club.

    “But he didn’t do it. I think he betrayed us this whole year. The season was catastrophic from start to finish in terms of image and communication. I’m very angry with him, when I see him in the national team I tell myself that there’s no way he can play for France.

  • PSG reportedly refuse to pay Kylian Mbappe £70m debt after transfer to Real Madrid

    PSG reportedly refuse to pay Kylian Mbappe £70m debt after transfer to Real Madrid

    PSG have reportedly withheld payments to Kylian Mbappe to the tune of €80million (£70m) in the wake of his free transfer to Real Madrid.

    The French superstar was confirmed as the newest ‘Galactico’ on Monday, ending a transfer saga as he joined the club on a five-year deal.

    According to L’Equipe, the loss of their star player for nothing has prompted the withholding of large payments in order for the PSG boss not to ‘lose face in this matter’.

    The outlet report that PSG refused to pay the 25-year-old his salary in April and May as well as his bonus in February. This has allowed the side to recover around £70m – the amount promised to the France captain as a loyalty bonus when he signed his 2022 extension.

    In November, French outlet RMC Sport reported that Mbappe – who was exiled from PSG’s squad last summer after he informed the club he would not be utilising his extension – was only allowed to return if he agreed to forego bonuses that he was owed.

    The report claimed PSG had originally insisted the only way he could rejoin Luis Enrique’s first team was if he signed a new deal, something the forward refused to do

    He was subsequently left out of the club’s pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea and forced to train with a group that become known as the ‘undesirables’ – players who PSG were trying to force out.

    Mbappe was then reintegrated after missing the first game of the season against Lorient.

    L’Equipe’s recent report has backed up those claims but states that the dispute was only partially finalised.

    The club’s all-time top scorer saw his game time dramatically reduce after he informed the PSG president of his decision to leave at the end of the campaign.

    Mbappe is currently with the France squad preparing for Euro 2024 and will formally link up with Real after his involvement in the tournament ends.

  • What Bellingham said about Mbappe after Champions League final

    What Bellingham said about Mbappe after Champions League final

    Jude Bellingham is urging Kylian Mbappe to join European champions Real Madrid.

    Bellingham was asked about the departing PSG star amid Real’s Champions League victory celebrations.

    He said, “We don’t know for sure if that will happen!

    “But if it the case (that Mbappe joins) then it would be great. A player like him… I think tonight we saw that the only thing we need is a real striker. I think if he came along and gave us that, it would take us to another level.

    “He’s one of the best players in the world.”

  • Mbappe will leave PSG but not for Real Madrid

    Mbappe will leave PSG but not for Real Madrid

    Ethan Mbappe will leave PSG this summer.

    The 17-year-old brother of Kylian Mbappe was expected to follow him to Real Madrid.

    But when Ethan was asked on Sunday, caught on video, if he will move to Real Madrid, he clearly answered: “No.”

    Now Foot Mercato says the midfielder can instead leave PSG for a league rival.

    Lille are showing strong interest and hope to sign the midfielder as a Bosman this summer.

    Ethan Mbappé has managed to play five competitive matches for PSG at senior level.

  • There’s a player at Real Madrid superior to Mbappe – Rivaldo

    There’s a player at Real Madrid superior to Mbappe – Rivaldo

    Barcelona great Rivaldo insists Kylian Mbappe will join Real Madrid not as their best player.

    Rivaldo says that mantel belongs to Vinicius Jr.

    “Considering what he does at Real Madrid, Vinícius is undoubtedly the better player today,” Rivaldo tells AS.

    “Vinícius has a great chance of being awarded the Ballon d’Or. He is already doing very well, he deserved to be there already last season. He is now among the top three players in the world.

    “And this year, with what he’s doing at Real Madrid, with the way he’s playing… he’s undoubtedly got a good chance to be the best player in the world, to beat Mbappé at the same price.”

  • Mbappe will make Real Madrid unstoppable – Van Nistelrooy

    Mbappe will make Real Madrid unstoppable – Van Nistelrooy

    Former Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy says Kylian Mbappe addition to Real Madrid’s team will make the Spanish giants unstoppable

    Mbappe is expected to join Real as his deal with PSG expires this summer.

    Van Nistelrooy told AS: “Kylian is a very intelligent player and I’m sure he thinks it will improve his career. He is still very young, and to be able to win the Ballon d’Or he should play for Real Madrid.”

    On where Mbappe will fit in Real’s attack, he added: “It is clear that it is compatible.

    “Who plays as ‘number nine’ will vary during the matches, because Ancelotti gives the players so much freedom in the offensive. Sometimes Mbappé will start in that position, sometimes Vinícius, just like it has been this year, even Rodrygo. The speed of that trio, with Bellingham right behind them, will be unstoppable.”

  • Cole Palmer just like Mbappe at Monaco – Malouda

    Cole Palmer just like Mbappe at Monaco – Malouda

    Former Chelsea winger Florent Malouda has lauded Cole Palmer for his impact this season.

    The ex-Manchester City youth star has come into the club and become the talisman.

    While Malouda knows that Palmer and the whole team have a long way to go, he believes that the Englishman can become a top class player.

    Speaking in an interview with Gambling Zone, Malouda said: “I’ve been very impressed with Cole Palmer this season. He is definitely one of the best signings that Chelsea have made in a long time. He is a very talented, skilful player, but what also impresses me about him is his football IQ and his maturity.

    “He is a very mature player. You can even see that in his celebration: he is cold. In the situations he finds himself in, you have to remain ice cold to take advantage and to make the right decision. You’re making complex decisions in fractions of seconds, so you need to have that ability to assess and analyse everything that is happening around you. He does that. He has a contagious ability; he makes other players better.

    “I’ve seen his connection with other players and also how he reacts when things don’t go his way – he never loses his focus. He always makes the right decision, which is very impressive for a young player in his first full season.

    Malouda continued: “I think that what Palmer has shown this season is the same ability that Mbappe showed when he first burst onto the scene at Monaco. Cole is a little bit older than Kylian was when he broke through, but in terms of his decision making, his calmness and his ability, he reminds me of Mbappe. That tells you everything about his potential and how far he could go.”

    This is when Mbappe will confirm Madrid move – Rothen

    Former PSG star Jerome Rothen says the Champions League will dictate when Kylian Mbappe announces his Real Madrid move.

    Rothen insists while PSG and Real remain in the competition, Mbappe will stay quiet.

    He told AS: “Mbappe is going to sign for Real Madrid, he will announce it before the European Championships.

    “He will announce it when PSG are eliminated from the Champions League or if Real Madrid are eliminated from the Champions League against Manchester City (in the quarter-finals) or in the semi-finals (against Arsenal or Bayern Munich).

    “As long as there is a possibility for PSG-Real Madrid in final, he won’t announce anything.”

    Luis Figo advises Mbappe on Real Madrid move

    Luis Figo has told Kylian Mbappe not to forget to have fun at Real Madrid.

    The PSG striker is set to join Real in a Bosman transfer this summer.

    Real great Figo told Marca: “I would tell him to be happy. And what about Real Madrid? Be happy, this is the most important thing in life. I looked for my happiness and I was lucky enough to come to Real Madrid and stay there for five years.”

    On Jude Bellingham, he continued: “I was surprised by his adaptation, but not by his quality because I knew him.

    “It’s logical that when you arrive at a club you have to adapt, but he did it and everything is very easy and positive for the club and for him.”

    He added, “They have a quality team, young, hungry for titles and with a great coach. I think they will be champions this year.”

  • Mbappe will 99% join Real Madrid – La Liga president

    Mbappe will 99% join Real Madrid – La Liga president

    La Liga president Javier Tebas has declared Real Madrid will sign PSG striker Kylian Mbappe at the end of the season.

    None of the three parties involved have announced the move.

    But Tebas told Movistar+: “Yes, I’m practically convinced of it. It now seems certain that he won’t continue his career at PSG and in Europe there are few teams that can afford him.

    “Furthermore, if we think that the English market has slowed down, everything suggests that his future is in a Spanish team. And in Spain only Real Madrid has the ability to buy him.

    “I would almost say it’s a certainty. I give him more than 99% chance that he will play for Real Madrid starting next season.”
