Previously, reports claimed that certain comments made by Kylian Mbappé in an interview created a rift between him and Ousmane Dembélé, but this allegation has been refuted.

According to AQABABE, a prominent French gossip blogger with close ties to many French national team players: "According to my sources, contrary to what may have circulated over the past few days, Kylian Mbappé's comments about the Ballon d'Or have not created any tension between him and Ousmane Dembélé whatsoever."

"The two players remain very close. Their friendship spans many years. They share a friend group and support each other through difficult times. Ousmane Dembélé fully understands that Kylian Mbappé meant him no harm, and vice versa."

"The real problem lies elsewhere; certain people in Ousmane Dembélé's professional circle want to see their club's player receive the Ballon d'Or and are deliberately trying to create a sense of discord between the two."

"This is not the first time desire to control public opinion regarding the Ballon d'Or has emerged. According to my sources, this same group previously attempted last year to remove the part where Achraf stated he believed he deserved the Ballon d'Or from a Canal+ interview."

"Achraf's statement caused internal displeasure because at that time, a strategy had already been developed with a preferred candidate—Ousmane Dembélé—to increase the chances of the Paris Saint-Germain player winning the award. Achraf's nomination at that time was seen as potentially undermining this strategy and the accompanying lobbying efforts."

"In summary: there is no war between Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé."

"The alleged discord actually comes from people around them who have overlapping interests and want others to believe otherwise!"

"You will see that during French national team training camps, they will appear together and demonstrate unity."

"Furthermore, according to my sources, among those stirring the pot and attempting to create the alleged 'war' between Ousmane Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé, apart from Moussa Sissoko, Ousmane Dembélé's agent, there is also Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembélé's club teammate, who is also being considered as a Ballon d'Or contender."

"So behind this competition, multiple interests may be at stake. What matters now is which player the club will ultimately decide to devote its influence and PR resources to supporting."

"Because although the Ballon d'Or appears to be a personal honor, the game behind it extends far beyond sports competition: it involves the club's international image and influence, commercial value enhancement, merchandise sales, player contracts and bonuses, and even soft power. Millions of euros in financial interests may indirectly be connected to this prestigious award."

"However, none of this will change the relationship between Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé; there is no conflict between them. This instead reveals the darker side of elite football: sometimes, personal interests in competition and finances may supersede personal relationships between players."

"So the alleged 'dispute between Ousmane Dembélé and Kylian Mbappé' is largely just a war deliberately fabricated by certain individuals for their own benefit."
