Tensions are boiling over inside Real Madrid’s dressing room as Kylian Mbappe’s self-centred behaviour continues to alienate his teammates, according to L’Equipe.
Tensions Rise: Real Madrid Players Turn Against Mbappe’s Self-Centred Attitude
The French superstar, 27, has increasingly shown an attitude that many players at the club find unacceptable both on and off the pitch.
His perceived special privileges now trigger strong disapproval within the squad.
Mbappe allegedly arrived 40 minutes late for a team lunch and showed disrespect to a staff member during a training session.
On neither occasion did the club punish him, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by his colleagues.
As a result, the forward finds himself increasingly isolated. He now maintains close relationships only with fellow French players Ferland Mendy, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga.
Spanish outlets now question whether Mbappe’s recent injury sustained in the 1-1 draw against Real Betis serves as a convenient excuse to distance himself from the club.
Sources claim the striker has “had enough” of Real Madrid and wants space from both the dressing room and coaching staff.
Repeated clashes with Jude Bellingham have further soured the atmosphere.
Reports also point to a frosty relationship with manager Alvaro Arbeloa, stemming from Mbappe’s dissatisfaction that the team prefers Vinicius Junior as the main attacking option.
Vinícius, by contrast, feels far more valued under Arbeloa. Yet the coach appears destined to leave following a likely trophy-less campaign.
Club officials are already searching for his successor behind the scenes a move that would clearly suit Mbappe.
For now, Real Madrid faces a growing problem: their star signing is drifting further away from the group, and the locker room’s patience is wearing thin.
