Over 28 Million Sign Petition for Mbappé's Departure from Real Madrid

A fan petition calling for Real Madrid to sell star forward Kylian Mbappé has reached 28 million signatures, reports Sky Sports. The petition, titled "Mbappé Out," has far surpassed its initial goal of 200,000 signatures, with its aim being the Frenchman's sale at the end of the season.

"If you believe a change is necessary, don't remain silent—sign this petition and stand up for what you believe is best for the club's future," urged the organizers. Mbappé, who is currently sidelined with a thigh injury, has faced significant criticism in recent weeks, particularly after being photographed on holiday in Sardinia with his girlfriend. In response, the 27-year-old forward's representatives released a statement confirming the trip was approved by the club.

"Some of the criticism is based on an exaggeration of facts related to a recovery period that is strictly monitored by the club. This does not reflect the reality and dedication to his work that Kylian demonstrates on a daily basis for the good of the team," wrote Mbappé's team. Since arriving in the Spanish capital in the summer of 2024, the French international has scored 85 goals in 100 matches, but Real Madrid is set to finish a second consecutive season without a domestic league title or a Champions League trophy.
