Real Madrid are growing increasingly frustrated with Kylian Mbappé after the French forward chose to take a holiday trip to Italy at a critical point in the season, according to reports from Diario AS.
The club is said to be “surprised and confused” by the timing of the trip, especially as Barcelona close in on the La Liga title. Sources suggest that a separation has now emerged between Mbappé and the rest of the dressing room, with the player’s behaviour drawing internal criticism.
Madrid officials are struggling to understand his decision to step away while the team faces difficult moments on the pitch and the prospect of watching their arch-rivals lift the league trophy.
Diario AS reports that the disconnect between Mbappé and his teammates has widened, though the club has not yet issued an official statement on the matter.
