Mbappe, Real Madrid’s best player this season by some distance, has scored 41 goals in 43 games across all competitions after winning the European Golden Boot in the last campaign.
The Frenchman has come under question despite his form, with tens of millions of fans signing a petition calling for him to leave due to his attitude at the club.
For the second consecutive season, the French forward finishes the Liga season as the top scorer but his future remains unclear at Madrid as links to other European sides such as Chelsea grow.
Speaking this week, Mbappe’s teammate Vinicius Junior has backed him to become a club legend even if fans are still divided on his presence in the side.
"Mbappe is a good person; he always defends me in interviews, including after the match against Benfica regarding the racism incident. He’s a legendary player who will leave his mark on Real Madrid," Vinicius said in an interview with CazeTV.
“Whenever we can, we’re together, even off the field, doing things as friends. I’ve always had a good relationship with him. I used to send him a lot of messages asking him to come and play with us.
“We haven’t been able to play the way we want, to win the titles the fans want, but I think we’ll be able to turn that situation around very soon," Vinicius explained.
Mbappe’s future is up in the air as he ponders whether he wants to stay at Madrid or follow fan advice and depart in the upcoming summer transfer window.
