Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has reportedly demanded the sale of his teammate Vinicius Junior.
The Operative Information Center-OMM reports that journalist François Gallardo shared the information on social media. According to Gallardo, Mbappe's mother, Fayza Lamari, has already submitted a formal request to Real Madrid President Florentino Perez. The report indicates that Mbappe has threatened to leave the club if Vinicius Junior remains part of the squad.
While these claims have not been officially confirmed by the club or the players' representatives, they highlight potential friction within the Spanish giants' star-studded lineup. Real Madrid, known for its "Galactico" policy, has historically navigated complex dynamics between world-class athletes. Such reports often emerge during periods of tactical transition or when individual roles overlap on the pitch.
Furthermore, the French striker is currently dealing with significant fitness issues. In late April 2026, Mbappe was diagnosed with a left hamstring injury, a condition that is expected to keep him out of action for the remainder of the season. This injury comes at a critical juncture for the club as they compete for domestic and European honors.
