From Favorite for the Midfield to Discarded Transfer, Mbappé is 'to Blame'

This player closes the doors to Madrid because of Mbappé and now bids farewell to his opportunity

Over the past few months, a considerable number of players have been rumored to join the white team to strengthen the Meringues. Obviously, many of these players are names of central defenders and wingers who could reinforce the team's defense. However, there are also names on the list for the midfield for the management.

One who seemed to be a perfect candidate for the club may have closed the doors on himself with his statements against Kylian Mbappé. We're referring to his former teammate at Paris Saint-Germain, Vitinha, who, incomprehensibly, has attacked him. "Kylian is one of the best, if not the best; however, he can be replaced with the team, and that's what we've done; I think collectively, as a team, we're better."

Thus, a player who doesn't want to team up with one of the best players in the world and Madrid isn't welcome by the management. So, his incorporation is practically closed for the whites, and he'll stay in Paris.

The Portuguese is shut out

It seems simply unbelievable that a player who has seen the Frenchman at his best level now has a completely different perspective of him. He even tries to soften his words with a compliment before this harsh blow.

The French footballer, while it's true he didn't have such an impressive performance in his first matches, has now hit a good streak. He currently has 17 goals and 3 assists, making him one of the main offensive pillars of the best club in the world. For some, these words are incomprehensible.

However, what becomes most evident is the difference in mentality and judgment when talking about two such different teams. It's impossible to compare two institutions at a sporting level like PSG and Real Madrid when the difference is evident.

Let him stick to his own

The opportunity to be part of the world's best club and play with the best players on the planet seems to have slipped through his hands. Now he should focus on playing with his teammates at PSG because the best are only in Madrid.
