Do Real Madrid regret signing Kylian Mbappé? Expert reveals honest opinion

Kylian Mbappé’s debut at Real Madrid has been far from easy since his free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The French striker appears to face increasing challenges in Spain.

The 25-year-old had a difficult start to the Clásico on October 26, with Real Madrid suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat to Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu. A few days later, the difficulties continued as Los Blancos were beaten 3-1 by AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League.

On Wednesday, Mbappé had the opportunity to shine against Liverpool, especially with the absence of Vinicius Junior, giving him a chance to play his preferred role. However, the match quickly turned into a nightmare for the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner.

Was signing Kylian Mbappé a mistake for Real Madrid?

Despite his difficult start with the Spanish team, ESPN FC expert Shaka Hislop believes Real Madrid made no mistake in signing Mbappé as a free agent.

“I still think you have the opportunity to sign a player matching the pedigree of Kylian Mbappé,” Hislop said. “Real Madrid, more than most clubs, will accept this, and Carlo Ancelotti, better than most managers, will understand this.

Ultimately, the debate on adaptation will no longer hold and people will start to wonder if Mbappé’s dream transfer could turn into a nightmare.
