However, recent accusations of abuse at a party in Sweden have surfaced, which Mbappé has dismissed as "fake news" on social media.

In response to these allegations, Real Madrid reportedly held a crisis meeting.

Journalist Romain Molina suggested that the club now regrets signing Mbappé, questioning the wisdom of his high-profile arrival amid the ongoing controversy. Mbappé denies all accusations.

Real Madrid "gutted" by Mbappe performances

"They regret bringing him in, I guarantee it," said Romain Molina. "I've discussed it off the record. It hasn’t been what they expected. Signing Mbappé was a whim of [Florentino] Pérez—he was the only one who really wanted him."
"[Pérez] has always been drawn to big-name players and has a personal bond with Mbappé. The club, however, is disappointed, first with his performance, which is far below what was expected. Things in the dressing room aren’t great either, though that’s not entirely Mbappé's fault."

Molina added: "I believe Real Madrid made a big mistake. Mbappé didn’t have a proper pre-season, unlike Jude Bellingham, yet he was thrown into action right away. At 25, his physical decline is puzzling. I’ve never seen such a drop-off at that age, and it’s hard to explain."

Goal reports that media outlets in Sweden have identified the French forward as a suspect in the case, leading to significant scrutiny.
