However, the situation changed after Mbappe held direct talks with Deschamps. The long-serving French manager appears to have calmed tensions, ultimately convincing the Real Madrid star to continue representing his country.
Despite his return, Mbappe’s position within the French squad may be more fragile than it appears. Reports suggest that several members of the national team are growing increasingly disillusioned with the forward’s demeanour and influence. There is talk of unrest brewing inside the camp, with some players reportedly favouring Ousmane Dembele as a more team-oriented figure in the attacking line. The dissatisfaction has escalated to the point where insiders are warning of a potential “war” within the dressing room if unity isn’t restored quickly.
France will wrap up their current international schedule with a third-place play-off match against Germany in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday. For Mbappe, the spotlight will now return to Real Madrid, where he is expected to lead the line in the upcoming Club World Cup.
