Transferred last summer for nearly 100 million euros from AS Monaco to Real Madrid, Aurélien knew he was moving into a whole new dimension!
But this change of status has its good and bad sides…
The 22-year-old midfielder found himself in a controversy that caused a lot of noise in Spain. Currently injured, the vice-world champion went to Paris to attend the Louis Vuitton show for Fashion Week but also the NBA match between the Detroit Pistons and the Chicago Bulls (108-126) which took place in the capital. . At the same time, his club faced Villarreal in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey (Madrilenians won 3-2).

Fans of the “White House” did not appreciate that Karim Benzema’s teammate took part in another event rather than following and encouraging his partners. The player broadcast on his account Twitter a statement in which he apologizes for this “behaviour” deemed “inappropriate”.
“I apologize to my club, to the technical staff, to my team-mates and to the Madrid fans for my presence at an event when we were playing the Cup. I was attentive at all times to what was happening in Villarreal, but I didn’t do the right thing. I’m sorry about that.”
Pido disculpas a mi club, al cuerpo técnico, put compañeros y a la afición madridista por mi presence en un evento a la hora que nos jugábamos mucho en la Copa. He estado atento en todo momento a lo que pasaba en Villarreal, pero no he hecho lo correcto. Lo siento mucho.

Words that did not prevent some Internet users from setting it on fire: “Total lack of seriousness”, “He doesn’t care about his club”, “What a lack of respect….even strangers gain confidence now it’s sad”, “I am and I will remain against such behavior , you were totally aware of doing so, after consummating your misbehavior, you come to apologize for it after largely disappointing”could we read.
