ALBAWABA - A Spanish journalist named Romain Molina recently claimed that La Liga's Real Madrid regrets signing French player Kylian Mbappé from France's PSG (Paris Saint-Germain), according to The Daily Mail 

Journalist Romain Molina told The Daily Mail that only Florentino Pérez who is Real Madrid's president, wanted Kylian Mbappé due to always liking the "big players."

Moreover, Molina also mentioned that Pérez has a loyal relationship with Mbappé but the football club is "gutted" with his performance further claiming that it sometimes feels awkward in the dressing room. 

He added, "I think Real have made a big mistake. He didn’t have a pre-season, he played instantly, unlike (Jude) Bellingham. When you see how (Mbappe) is physically at 25, you can’t explain it to me. The physical drop-off that he has had at 25, I have never seen that."

The same journalist also claimed through a video published on YouTube, that Mbappé is not mentally well and is suffering from Alcohol addiction further getting the football star in hot water.

The claims in question also might've come amid Mbappé's alleged rape and sexual molestation allegations in Stockholm, Sweden right after France celebrated its victory against Israel in the UEFA Nations League. 

After dinner in Stockholm, Kylian Mbappé headed to a nearby nightclub named "V," where the incident took place but was only reported two days after by Swedish media outlet Expressen.

Mbappé later denied the alleged rape accusations made against him, according to AFP.
