World Cup 2022: Real Madrid Monitoring Mbappe’s Situation at PSG

• Real Madrid are one of the big teams interested in signing Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain
• Mbappe was already frustrated with the French giants even before the FIFA World Cup started in Qatar
• Wayne Rooney wants Mbappe to join Manchester United to reach the heights of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

Real Madrid is keeping a close eye on Kylian Mbappe's situation at Paris Saint-Germain.

The French attacker proved why he's the future of football as he scored a hat trick in the World Cup final and finished the tournament as the leading goal scorer.

Despite his heroics, Les Bleus were still beaten by Argentina and the defeat naturally took a toll on the 23-year-old.

Madrid is now said to be keeping tabs on the player, as reports suggest that the World Cup defeat could frustrate the player to the point that he wants to leave PSG, Madrid Universal reported.

Mbappe was not happy with the club prior to the tournament starting and could seek a way out after the World Cup failure.

Neymar's support of Messi

Another factor that could play a role in Mbappe wanting to leave is Neymar and Messi's relationship at the club. The Brazilian took to social media after the final to congratulate Messi but noticeably failed to mention his other PSG teammate, Mbappe, Daily Mail reported.

Wayne Rooney's words

Wayne Rooney recently advised Mbappe to leave the French side and move to Manchester United, SportsKeeda reported.

The former United striker believes that Mbappe needs to leave the club if he wants to reach the heights of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. United are said to be keen on signing the player, but so are their arch-rivals, Liverpool.

Brazil star Neymar took to his social media accounts to congratulate his longtime friend Lionel Messi following Argentina's World Cup win in Qatar.

Neymar congratulated Messi with one short message of 'Congrats Brother.' Fans were quick to note that he did not write a condoling message for Mbappe who despite his heroics was on the losing side on the night.
