Kylian Mbappé’s transition to Real Madrid has been far from smooth since his free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. While some pundits have speculated that Mbappé should consider returning to PSG, others remain doubtful about a reunion happening anytime soon.

The 25-year-old forward, who signed a contract running through 2029, has encountered difficulties in his new environment. His struggles were evident during Real Madrid’s 2-0 defeat to Liverpool on Matchday 5 of the UEFA Champions League, where Mbappé failed to capitalize on an opportunity to shine in his preferred role with Vinicius sidelined.

Although he scored in the recent match against Getafe, Mbappé has yet to make a significant impact in key fixtures. His disappointing moment came during Real Madrid’s 2-1 loss to Athletic Club, where he missed a penalty in the 68th minute.

Cristiano Ronaldo, speaking with Rio Ferdinand, weighed in on Mbappé’s challenges at Madrid, highlighting the pressure of playing for a club like Real Madrid, in contrast to his time at PSG. Ronaldo acknowledged the uncertainty around whether Mbappé could handle the pressure, stating, “Real Madrid is not PSG. I can’t tell you. Let’s see if their head is clear and good, and if they can deal with the pressure.”

Ronaldo also expressed uncertainty about how Real Madrid’s season would unfold, saying, “Madrid will keep strong, but I don’t know if they will be better than last year. Only God knows. But they have a fantastic team, fantastic players.”

Mbappé’s future at Real Madrid remains uncertain, and the ongoing struggles will undoubtedly continue to fuel discussions about his potential return to PSG.
