Ever since Kylian Mbappe was contacted by Real Madrid regarding a move away from Paris Saint Germain, the entire footballing world has been waiting for an official update. Marca did claim that the French forward signed a contract with Madrid, but there has still been no official confirmation. 

With many expecting and excited for Mbappe joining the Spanish giants, the former FC Barcelona star, Emmanuel Petit believes it will be a problem for Los Blancos. He believes the star will cause a problem in the dressing room and will cause changes in the tactics.

If Mbappe goes to Madrid that could be a problem. Not just in terms of wages in the dressing room, but in terms of leadership as well. Bellingham has been amazing just like Vinicius Jr, and if he goes to Madrid, he will have to play as a striker, just like what he did recently for PSG. But we all know that this is not his best position. There are so many questions and no answers.

Petit further stated how fed up he and many fans were with Mbappe coming to the news every day. He said many French fans were annoyed as he came up in the news every day and it could cause a problem to all managers due to him being in the news all the time.
