<p>The World Cup-winning Frenchman took the decision to sever ties with Paris Saint-Germain when reaching the end of his contract. He had become the all-time leading goalscorer for the Ligue 1 heavyweights, but decided that the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/supposed-to-be-sold-ex-psg-sporting-director-urged-club-accept-real-madrid-offer-kylian-mbappe-2021-against-contract-extension/blte2542157d9651e4b " target="_blank">time was right in 2024 to take on a new challenge</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mbappe has - as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/galactico-levels-kylian-mbappe-doesnt-reach-karim-benzema-ankle-france-questioned-injury-pressure-real-madrid/blt31b240dd12c33362" target="_blank">the newest ‘Galactico’ at Santiago Bernabeu</a> - registered eight goals through 15 appearances for Real, but more was expected of him. The 25-year-old also <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kylian-mbappe-50-goals-first-real-madrid-season-emulate-cristiano-ronaldo/bltf9975cf0b7736cdc" target="_blank">demands better of himself</a>, but has found the going tough after being <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/not-good-as-9-vinicius-junior-the-best-karim-benzema-tells-kylian-mbappe-forget-important-real-madrid-advice/blt946cdc1437d2b050" target="_blank">moved centrally from the left wing berth that he favours</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>According to <a href="https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/real-madrid/20241108/1002349291/mbappe-le-gusta-real-madrid.html " target="_blank"><em>Mundo Deportivo</em></a>, Mbappe is growing <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/carlo-ancelotti-responds-kylian-mbappe-disrupted-harmony-real-madrid-dressing-room-champions-league-ac-milan/bltcc0b73b43f56d27d" target="_blank">disillusioned with Carlo Ancelotti’s tactical plan</a> in the Spanish capital. He is said to have expressed that unhappiness to close friends, with the France international disappointed at the style of football that Real are playing.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>He is said to miss being "the main point of the team", with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-galactico-kylian-mbappe-accused-trying-copy-neymar-trickery-psg-flamboyant-brazilian/blt4d2420dbac2edd8e " target="_blank">that standing enjoyed at Parc des Princes</a> as "he was the point of reference and everyone played for him". That is not the case in Madrid and Mbappe has started to miss the kind of chances that he has historically snapped up.</p>
