Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) sensation Kylian Mbappe is facing renewed pressure to make a move to Real Madrid, with former France international Christophe Dugarry dubbing him a “lost little boy” and urging him to leave, reported by GOAL. Mbappe's current contract with the club is set to expire in June, opening the door for negotiations with other clubs.

Real Madrid has been a consistent frontrunner in the pursuit of Mbappe, a saga that dates back to the prolonged events of 2021. Recently, Liverpool has also emerged as a potential contender for his signature. As uncertainty looms over the 25-year-old's future at PSG, Dugarry has voiced his opinion, expressing the belief that Mbappe should depart for the good of the club.

Speaking on RMC Sport, the World Cup winner stated, “I hope he leaves, from the bottom of my heart. I think he's becoming more and more predictable, he lacks strength and character, he disappears from games too often.” Dugarry expressed concerns about Mbappe's current state, suggesting he seems like a “little boy” overwhelmed by the pressure and responsibilities.
