Real Madrid supports Mbappe over the Zidane controversy
Real Madrid, according to the Daily Mirror, has joined Kylian Mbappe in criticizing comments made by Noel Le Graet, the president of the France FA, on Zinedine Zidane.
After Le Graet said that he “did not care” that the Brazilian FA had contacted the former Ballon d’Or winner about a potential position, Mbappe alleged that Le Graet had humiliated Zidane.
Rumors that Zinedine Zidane will succeed Didier Deschamps as manager of France were dispelled when Deschamps extended his contract with the French national team to 2026.
Real Madrid will not sign Mbappe.
Sports Brief earlier said that Kylian Mbappe would not even get the chance to play for Real Madrid since they are second-guessing their decision to sign the Paris Saint-Germain attacker.
Mbappe declined the chance to join Los Blancos last summer, but Real Madrid rekindled their interest in the 24-year-old following his incredible World Cup heroics.
Real Madrid is allegedly considering giving up on its pursuit of Mbappe in order to make room for superstars like Jude Bellingham and Endrick.
