Real Madrid fan petition for Kylian Mbappé’s exit nears 20 million, credibility questioned | OneFootball

A fan-led petition urging Kylian Mbappé to leave Real Madrid has drawn an eye-catching online tally, now nearing 20 million signatures, though the number needs heavy caveats.

According to Le Progres, the counter rocketed to 18 million within days after frustrated Madrid supporters pushed it across social media.

That backlash comes despite Mbappé’s prolific return, 41 goals in 40 matches in all competitions, which underlines his individual impact.

The petition is not hosted on established platforms such as change.org. It sits on Replit, and a click on a sign button is counted with no email or identity verification.

It is highly likely that repeat clicks and even bots have inflated the total. While fans may lament a very likely trophyless season, it remains highly improbable that such a vast number of distinct people endorsed Mbappé’s exit.
