Questions over Mbappe’s commitment intensified after he travelled to Italy while recovering from injury and missed El Clasico against FC Barcelona.
Kylian Mbappe to stay at Real Madrid
However, the striker has publicly reaffirmed his commitment to the club amid reports that José Mourinho is close to taking charge at the Bernabeu.
Speaking to Vanity Fair via TeamTalk, Mbappe said:
“And also, the weather is so nice, it’s peaceful to be in a place like this, and I really enjoy my time in Madrid.”
He added:
“It’s the big club in the world, so it’s such a blessing to be part of this club and this project.”
Meanwhile, according to TeamTalk, Mourinho has an agreement in principle over a three-year deal to replace Álvaro Arbeloa at the end of the season.
While Mbappe is expected to feature prominently for Real Madrid next season, Spanish journalist Juanma Rodríguez labelled the forward a “flop” and questioned his commitment to the club, despite the former AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain ace scoring 85 goals in 100 appearances for Los Blancos.
