Mbappe and Vinicius relationship crumbles at Real Madrid

Real Madrid board members are growing uneasy about Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior sharing the same attacking role, with some pushing to sell one of the two stars, according to L’Équipe.

Their on-pitch chemistry has never truly clicked, and Los Blancos will finish the season without a major trophy, a harsh reality for two of the world’s best attackers.

Mbappé’s attitude has become a flashpoint in the dressing room. Teammates criticize his limited defensive work and self-centred approach, which has alienated nearly half the squad. In contrast, many players feel a stronger connection with Vinícius, who is seen as more team-oriented and relatable.

Adding to the tension, L’Equipe reports that some Real Madrid board members are unhappy with the co‑existence of the two forwards and are pushing to sell one of them.

Despite both being among the world’s best players, their partnership has not clicked, with Los Blancos finishing the season without a major trophy. Mbappé’s questionable attitude, lack of defensive work, and self‑centred behaviour have unsettled half the dressing room, who connect more with Vinícius.
