Kylian Mbappe's lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, has announced that the French international and Real Madrid forward's team plans to file a defamation complaint against allegations made against him.
According to the lawyer, the delay in filing the complaint is due to awaiting additional information related to an ongoing investigation.
He is stunned to hear that it could concern him. He preferred to go to training and asked my office not to leave things as they are because it is impossible to let yourself be slandered and defamed in this way. This is the reason why we are going to file a complaint for libel.

So far this season, he has played 11 matches for los Blancos, scoring seven goals and providing one assist.
