It is getting truly ugly out here for Real Madrid, and just when Madridistas thought that their beloved club could not sink any lower, each new day brings about a new media controversy and rumors that nobody knows if they can trust. Although the media itself is often the target of skepticism, fans are increasingly wondering where the news is coming from within, who is leaking it, and what their motivations are.
And after conflicting reports about what exactly went down between star midfielders Aurelien Tchouameni and Fede Valverde and who was responsible for releasing that information en masse to various media outlets in Spain and France, the club itself is having some strong thoughts. too.
According to a report from major Spanish media outlet El Pais, via Madrid Xtra, there is a lot of mistrust in the Real Madrid locker room about these leaks, and the club itself is convinced that there is at least one mole leaking information to the press. And they even think that there is a specific agenda and campaign in a lot of these leaks, including concerns that someone is trying to spread information to the media in order to make Kylian Mbappe and thus Florentino Perez, by extension, look bad for the signing of the Frenchman.
Real Madrid are a giant mess of Wack-A-Mole
Ironically, this information has to come from somewhere and could be a leak itself, either from a player, a manager, or, more likely, a member of the club of a high rank, which include an "official club leak" as high as the president Florentino Perez himself.
Regardless of who is leaking what information, the reality is that there are probably multiple people leaking information and all have their own agendas. While this is nothing unusual for what happens at any big club, it is all magnified even more by the fact that there are very real conflicts and very big egos in a Real Madrid dressing room with players that are unhappy with both losing and their own individual performances.
It is more than plausible that there are people in the Real Madrid dressing room who are against Kylian Mbappe and even Florentino Perez, but it is not as if they are blameless in all of this. Mbappe has been underperforming, hurting the team by not running, and causing controversy. But it is true that there are probably people in the club saying things to the media that are not helping matters either. Yet if there is a mole against Mbappe, there is also the chance Mbappe is the mole against someone else. And likewise with Perez and the others. It is a giant mess, and it is not even close to being sorted.
