“It’s definitely not the best moment between Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid. That is a reality.
“It’s obviously not the best moment to see a player like Mbappé on holiday while the team is struggling – it speaks volumes about the moment. But at the same time – let’s not exaggerate.
“Let’s not say that the relationship between Real Madrid and Mbappé has been broken. Let’s not say that the relationship between Mbappé and Real Madrid is over. Let’s not even mention that Real Madrid are considering letting Mbappé leave the club in the summer.
“There’s nothing about it. Nothing at all.
“It’s a complicated moment for Real Madrid, but it doesn’t just apply to Mbappé. There are a lot of complicated situations at Real Madrid right now,” Romano concluded.
