Real Madrid fans are once again divided over the future of French superstar Kylian Mbappé after reports emerged that a viral petition demanding his sale has now crossed wan astonishing 50 million signatures.
The controversy, first amplified by football platform OneFootball, comes amid growing frustration among sections of the Madrid fanbase following a turbulent season for Real Madrid.
According to multiple reports, the online movement gained momentum after Mbappé’s controversial trip to Sardinia with actress Ester Expósito while recovering from injury. Many supporters questioned the timing of the vacation as Madrid struggled domestically and in Europe.
The petition reportedly began with a few million signatures earlier this week before rapidly exploding across social media platforms. Some reports suggested internal tensions at the club and dressing room frustrations may have further fueled the backlash.
Despite the criticism, Mbappé’s numbers for Madrid remain impressive. The French forward has continued to deliver goals consistently since arriving from Paris Saint-Germain, with reports noting he has already reached 100 appearances for the Spanish giants while maintaining elite scoring form.
Real Madrid officials have publicly defended the player, insisting his recovery process was being monitored by the club’s medical staff. Manager Álvaro Arbeloa also dismissed claims that the forward lacked commitment to the team.
Still, the situation has sparked huge debate among football fans worldwide. While some supporters blame Mbappé for Madrid’s difficult campaign, others argue the criticism is exaggerated considering his individual performances and goal contributions.
As pressure continues to build ahead of crucial fixtures, all eyes remain on whether the tension surrounding Mbappé will calm down — or become one of the biggest football sagas of the season.
