The Paris Saint-Germain striker has been heavily linked with a departure this year given his contract expires at the end of the season.
Real Madrid are the frontrunners for his signature but Liverpool have also been linked with the World Cup winner, while it’s said there are tentative links to Premier League rivals Chelsea and Arsenal.
But speaking exclusively to talkSPORT, France legend Emmanuel Petit believes that midfielder Jude Bellingham could pose a problem for Mbappe in the Bernabeu dressing room as the current star at Madrid.
He also warned his compatriot that he would not be welcomed as heartily at Real as he would have been had he joined in the summer of 2022 when he signed a new contract with PSG instead in what was a stunning U-turn.
Speaking to Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent on Drive, Petit said: “Madrid was ready to deliver the red carpet out for Mbappe with such a huge amount of money
“They were ready to break the bank for him. What happened afterwards is not the same situation now.
“Why? Because they felt probably betrayed, Madrid. I don’t know if that is right or not but this is the situation.
“On top of this, you have got Bellingham. He is the star of Madrid right now. Do you think you can have mini-stars who can shine at Madrid?”
England midfielder Bellingham moved to Spain from Dortmund in the summer and has taken the league by storm in Zinedine Zidane’s no.5 shirt.
