Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid is not interested in rejoining the French national squad anytime soon. The Frenchman is reportedly even thinking about quitting international football. The 25-year-old was anticipated to return to Les Bleus as the international break drew near after missing October’s games because of a rumoured minor ailment. However, Didier Deschamps, the manager of France, took the unexpected choice to exclude his captain from the roster for the Nations League matches this month.
The striker will not participate for Les Bleus against Italy on November 17 or Israel on November 14, according to 90Min. Journalist Romain Molina claims that the French Football Federation and Didier Deschamps, the player’s entourage, have different opinions. While Mbappe feels Deschamps’ tactics are to blame for his poor performance for the national team, his mother, Fayza Lamari, sees a media conspiracy against her son.
Kylian Mbappe threatens to retire from international football
According to L’Equipe, Mbappe would rather remain in Spain than play for his country. According to other reports, Mbappe no longer wants to play for France, at least not while Didier Deschamps remains captain. It is said that the two have a falling out. Additionally, Deschamps disclosed that Mbappe’s omission is not because of recent Swedish media claims claiming the forward was the focus of a rape inquiry.
According to some, Mbappe won’t play for France under Deschamps until something changes. It is said that the striker and his international boss have a “fractious” connection. Mbappe has made 15 appearances for Real Madrid this season, scoring eight goals, but it hasn’t always been easy. The fact that Carlo Ancelotti still uses him as a center striker has reportedly angered him.
