Kylian Mbappé has addressed the ongoing speculation regarding his chemistry with Vinicius Junior at Real Madrid. The forward insisted he remains unaffected by the noise surrounding the team.
"Me and Vinicius incompatible? That's an opinion. I can't control the millions of rumours you hear when you play for the biggest club in the world. What matters to me is improving every detail on the pitch to help the team," Mbappé stated.
On the subject of the Ballon d'Or, the French international acknowledged the prestige of the award. While he believes it is a strong year for him to claim the trophy, he admitted that the voting process remains unpredictable.
Turning his attention to Italian football, Mbappé revealed his preference for the Rossoneri. "I definitely prefer AC Milan. But Inter are an opponent who deserve great respect. They are a quality side," he noted. He also mentioned his friendship with Marcus Thuram and acknowledged the threat posed by Lautaro Martinez.
