As the Real Madrid eagerly awaits the final decision of French forward Kylian Mbappé, former French international Christophe Dugarry did not mince his words when it comes to the Spanish club. The RMC Sport channel consultant believes it’s time for the Madrid club to abandon its cunning strategy.
The world of football finds itself once again at the center of a truly exhausting saga, and Christophe Dugarry doesn’t disagree. For over two seasons now, the future of French forward Kylian Mbappé has sparked enormous speculation in every transfer window. Faced with the 25-year-old player’s ambiguous intentions, an unprecedented media battle unfolds. After the episodes of the last summer transfer window, we are now in the midst of a new battle with the same contenders: Real Madrid, PSG, and Mbappé himself.
The Head-to-Head in the Mbappé Saga
While it was learned that the Madrid club, in pursuit of the player since 2022, should make a move this January to try to secure the long-awaited signature, Kylian Mbappé made a statement that set things on fire last week. Learning that things are far from certain despite the player being free to discuss and commit to anyone from the beginning of 2024, Real Madrid, through the Iberian media, clarified points. Sometimes, an ultimatum for mid-January is announced, sometimes we learn that no offer has yet been made, and if there were, it would be very low.
These pressures do not sit well with Christophe Dugarry, former French international (55 matches, 8 goals). According to the former Barcelona forward (1997-1998), the Madrid club does not have the best attitude in this matter that is making headlines.
“I think Real is showing off a bit”
“I find that Real Madrid’s attitude annoys me deeply. I think they’re acting a bit too clever. At some point, if they want Mbappé, they will have to open their wallets. And there, I hear them right and left saying that they are not ready to break the bank, that they are not waiting for Mbappé… I think the leaders of Real are showing off a bit,” he said on RMC Sport.
In any case, it is the end of the saga that interests many football enthusiasts following the story these days. With multiple twists and media releases from all sides, the future of Kylian Mbappé is generally irking all decision-makers. Whether at PSG, where the player has been playing since 2017, the situation is burdensome, and it is crucial to quickly know the end of the tunnel to approach the future with serenity. On the side of Real Madrid, there is no longer a question of suffering the humiliation of 2022.
Kylian’s Problematic Future
Today, several questions arise: why does Mbappé maintain so much uncertainty about his future? Is it not a way to secure the biggest benefit in terms of remuneration? Nevertheless, it is clear that the sports project is not the fundamental criterion for the Bondynois. After more than six seasons at PSG, crowned with numerous successes in France and many disappointments on the European stage, Real Madrid represents a unique opportunity to enter a new dimension at 25.
In any case, Foot Mercato recently announced an agreement between the captain of the Blues and the Madrid club. Subsequently, the player’s camp responded with a formal no. While the back and forth continue in this matter, we await to see who it will benefit or harm the most. Mbappé is playing big for his future, Christophe Dugarry, on RMC Sport, also suggests that he should look elsewhere than PSG.
