Fofana stated, "Everyone does what they want with their free time. Kylian is a big boy, he is a great professional, he manages his career as he sees fit." Guendouzi echoed this sentiment, asserting, "There is no doubt about Kylian. He loves his country and the team, and will continue to help us reach the highest levels." Both players urged the media to stop fixating on Mbappé's personal life, highlighting that he deserves privacy and respect during his time off.
