[Saba Sports News] According to French media reports, Kylian Mbappe’s relationship with Didier Deschamps is nearing a breakdown, and if the French national team does not change coaches, Mbappe may not return. This is the second consecutive time Mbappe has been excluded from the French national team roster, raising speculation about the future of the Real Madrid forward with the national team. Reports indicate that Mbappe’s decision is influenced by the ongoing tension between him and Deschamps, with the French forward vowing not to return to the Clairefontaine training center due to their discord. When discussing his selection decisions, Deschamps provided limited details but stated that he had given considerable thought to this choice after several conversations with Mbappe. He said, “I had several exchanges with Mbappe, I thought about it, and then made this decision. I believe this is better; I don’t want to argue. I can tell you two things: first, Mbappe wants to come, and second, this has nothing to do with off-field incidents.” However, reports from France suggest otherwise, stating that if Deschamps continues as head coach, Mbappe may completely abandon representing France, indicating that deeper issues behind the scenes may not be easily resolved.
