Fan and media demands within Madrid circles have recently increased calling for the permanent exclusion of Kylian Mbappé, the star of the French team and teammate of Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi, from Real Madrid’s ranks.
These demands have reached the level of launching an online petition that has gathered over 1.2 million signatures so far, expressing widespread dissatisfaction among the club’s royal supporters.
This campaign comes amid a state of anger and general dissatisfaction with Kylian Mbappé’s behavior, which, according to the fans, does not align with the aspirations and values of the prestigious Madrid institution.
Among the most notable incidents that sparked this discontent was his trip to Italy with his girlfriend, actress Ester Expósito, on April 29, 2026, without attending to follow his team in one of the league matches.
This behavior drew severe criticism in Spanish media and among the club’s fans, who questioned his seriousness during his rehabilitation period and why he was on vacation just days before the anticipated El Clásico match against Barcelona.
It is clear that Kylian Mbappé’s future at Real Madrid is now at stake, as the popular petition and media coverage reflect the pressure the player is under.
This crisis is not limited to the fan aspect only; reports indicate internal problems in the locker room among the players themselves and between some players and the interim coach Arbeloa, which further complicates the general situation within the royal team and pushes towards the necessity of resolving these crises to ensure Real Madrid’s stability and success.
