Kylian Mbappe, the French superstar who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, is set to break his silence in an exclusive interview on Sunday.
The 25-year-old striker has been absent from the international scene, missing the last two breaks with the French team, and has also struggled at club level with Real Madrid.
At the international level, manager France Didier Deschamps said Mbappé was not in the “best psychological condition” during his last appearance with the national team in September.
The reasons for his continued absence from the Blues squad remain vague, following a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign on a personal level for the former Paris Saint-Germain star.
Deschamps clarified, however, that Mbappé’s absence from the team in November was not due to non-sporting reasons, referring to an ongoing investigation where Mbappé is a potential suspect in an alleged rape case.
At club level, Mbappé has struggled to meet high expectations since his arrival. Real Madrid. Although he has scored 10 goals since his arrival, the Frenchman missed crucial penalties in the UEFA Champions League against Liverpool and in La Liga against Athletics club earlier this week.
It is in this context that Mbappé will speak in the program ‘Clique’, broadcast on Canal PlusSunday evening at 7:30 p.m. in France.
In a clip shared on social media, the French captain hinted at why he was doing this interview, saying: “When you’re a star, if you don’t speak, people speak for you because they have to talk about you. Every day something happens that I haven’t told anyone about.
The interview will be an opportunity for Mbappe to address the constant challenges he faces both at club and international level, as he looks to regain his form and confidence.
