A move to Madrid would have seen Mbappe form a fearsome attack alongside international teammate Benzema, who has been in incredible form for Los Blancos this season.

As news emerged that Mbappe has rejected a move to Spain, Benzema shared a picture on Instagram of his hand pointing to the Real Madrid badge, as to affirm his loyalty to the club.

Benzema also made another curious Instagram post to suggest he is displeased with Mbappe.

On his stories, Benzema posted a picture of iconic American rapper Tupac together with a friend that betrayed him.

This photo might be indicating that the Real Madrid forward feels betrayed by Mbappe.

Meanwhile, Mbappe’s decision has prompted a furious response from Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, who has branded PSG an ‘insult to football’.

Prior to PSG’s announcement, La Liga has hinted of legal action by saying the body would not take the Mbappe issue lightly.

La Liga, in a scathing statement, termed Mbappe’s new PSG deal ‘scandalous’, further announcing intentions file a complaint to Uefa as well as French and EU authorities.
