L'Équipe reports that Didier Deschamps, the head coach of the French national team, will meet with Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe to discuss the player's role in the national team.
According to the source, Deschamps intends to speak with Mbappe about the captaincy of the French national team and wants to understand if Mbappe wants to continue as captain.
Mbappe has represented France since March 2017, participating in 86 matches and scoring 48 goals with 35 assists. He is a World Cup champion (2018) and a UEFA Nations League winner (2021) with the French side.
It is worth noting that Mbappe was not called up to the national team in October and November for the UEFA Nations League matches.
There have been reports that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is dissatisfied with Kylian Mbappe's performance, stating that the French forward has not met the expectations of the Spanish club.
Furthermore, as reported by Get French Football News, citing journalist Romain Molina, the 25-year-old forward no longer wishes to represent the French national team while Didier Deschamps is still in charge.
