Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe took to social media to firmly deny reports of an alleged abuse incident at his Stockholm hotel, calling them “fake news”.

The Frenchman's response comes just a day before a critical hearing with his former club, PSG, fueling speculation about the timing of these accusations.

Mbappe blasts ‘Fake News’ as abuse allegation surfaces at hotel he stayed at in Sweden

According to RMC Sport, citing Swedish media, Stockholm police have opened an investigation following a young woman’s complaint describing an incident last Thursday at the hotel where Mbappe and his entourage, including PSG loanee Nordi Mukiele, stayed.

Mbappe’s visit to Sweden, which involved stops at Chez Jolie restaurant and the V nightclub, had already drawn media attention.

Photos of the French captain socialising while his national team faced Israel in the Nations League had sparked public debate.

In his social media post, Mbappe implied a possible link between the timing of these claims and his upcoming hearing with PSG, remarking:

“I“FAKE NEWS!!!! It’s becoming so predictable, just before the hearing as if by chance.”

Scheduled for Tuesday, the hearing before the Appeals Tribunal of the Professional Football League (LFP) centres on Mbappe’s claim of €55 million from PSG, covering a loyalty bonus and three months of unpaid salary—a claim PSG contests.

The French League had previously ordered PSG to pay this amount on September 12, but the club appealed.

Now, the Appeals Tribunal will issue a ruling after hearing arguments from both sides. Mbappe’s comments suggest he perceives these accusations as a potential smear campaign linked to his dispute with PSG.
