Here’s the latest on the Mbappé petition as of early May 2026.
-
What the petition is about: A large online campaign titled “Mbappé Out” demanding Kylian Mbappé’s departure from Real Madrid has gained widespread attention amid tensions at the club and a challenging season. Supporters cite off-field controversies and on-field struggles as reasons for the push. The petition’s visibility has surged across social and sports media.[1][3]
-
Signatures and momentum: Reports indicate the petition has attracted tens of millions of signatures in a short span, with figures above 20–30 million cited by multiple outlets, making it one of the most-signatured online campaigns related to a single footballer in recent history. Some outlets noted potential bot involvement as a factor in the rapid growth.[2][3][5]
-
Club context and reactions: Real Madrid’s season has faced criticism, and Mbappé’s conduct off the pitch has been a focal point for some supporters and commentators. The situation has sparked statements from Mbappé’s entourage and varying media analyses about leadership, dressing-room dynamics, and the potential impact on Madrid’s campaign for trophies.[4][7]
-
Cautions: While the petition has clearly captured attention, it remains uncertain how many signers are genuine Real Madrid supporters vs. automated activity, and it is unclear whether the club or Mbappé will respond in the short term.[3][5]
