Kylian Mbappe against everyone – Sport – Kommersant

PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé’s relationship with the French club’s management and other players seems to have reached a breaking point. The most expensive football player in the world, Spanish and French sources write, is dissatisfied with his position at the club and considers himself a “victim of false promises.” He doesn’t like the fact that the role of the leader of the dressing room has migrated to Lionel Messi, he doesn’t like playing in the position of a clean “nine”, he doesn’t like the way the Parisians conducted the transfer campaign. Teammates led by Neymar have a lot of complaints about Mbappe – they are not satisfied with the selfish behavior of the Frenchman and the fact that he has many privileges. The departure of Kylian Mbappe seems to be the only possible way to resolve the crisis: the PSG leadership is ready to let the striker go to any club in the winter, with the exception of one – Real Madrid.

That the crisis in relations between the most valuable player in the world Kylian Mbappe (according to the authoritative resource Transfermarkt, the French striker is worth €160 million – €10 million more than the second-placed Norwegian Erling Haaland) and PSG reached its peak, several French and Spanish media reported at once. Marca chose to describe the striker’s relationship with club president Nasser al-Khelaifi as “worse than ever.”

The main reason for Mbappe’s dissatisfaction is the unfulfilled promises by the leadership of PSG, which allegedly went on top of a record contract. The striker signed a new agreement with the club, which he has been representing since 2017, last summer – under it, the 23-year-old Mbappe was entitled to a salary of €100 million a year and a signing bonus of €300 million.

The Frenchman is upset that in the summer, Paris Saint-Germain, contrary to promises, did not sign the “nine”, that is, the central striker. Robert Lewandowski and Gianluca Scamacca were considered for this position, but the first, we recall, went to Barcelona, ​​and the second to West Ham. As a result, Kylian Mbappe was forced to take on the role of centre-forward, although he does not like it. But Neymar remained in the club, who, according to information Le ParisienKylian Mbappe asked to sell.

According to the same French newspaper, Mbappe is dissatisfied with the fact that coach Christophe Galtier clearly prefers the 3-4-3 scheme, with three attackers. It allows other forwards, Lionel Messi and Neymar, to “show their best qualities”, but not Mbappe.

The Frenchman’s relations deteriorated not only with the leadership of PSG, but also with the players.

The Frenchman is angry that the status of dressing room leader, which he himself claimed, has passed to Messi.

Now the Argentine has exactly the same influence that he had for many years at Barcelona – and this, in his opinion, is not the best environment for winning the Champions League.

The players, meanwhile, are unhappy with Mbappe’s excessive amount of privileges that he got after the contract renewal, and his behavior in general.

“One day in training, he can smile and joke, and the next day he will be silent and not look at anyone,” leads Marca words from a source familiar with the situation.

The list of Parisians outraged by Mbappé’s position is quite long and includes club captain Marquinhos, strikers Neymar and Yugo Ekitike, midfielder Ashraf Hakimi, defenders Nordi Mukiele and Presnel Kimpembe.

PSG leaders are ready to release their key asset this coming winter. It is also reported that the owners of PSG have set a condition: Mbappe should not go to Real Madrid. It seems that the president of the Parisian club, Nasser al-Khelaifi, is not ready to forgive Florentino Perez for his constant attempts to intercept the striker.

As the most likely contender for the services of Mbappe, the club of the English Premier League “Liverpool” is called. He, according to Marca, is ready to allocate more than € 200 million for the transfer of the French striker and offer a five-year contract with a decent salary.

This story may, however, have a completely different ending. Platform this week mediapart published the results of a study, during which it established that PSG allegedly used the services of a third-party organization Digital Big Brother to conduct social media campaigns against the media, employees and players, which included Kylian Mbappe. So, the “army” of fake accounts began to criticize the striker in 2019, when rumors appeared about his departure to Real Madrid. The club almost immediately denied this information.

But if the information that Paris Saint-Germain initiated a campaign against the striker is nevertheless confirmed and proven, he claims R.M.C. Sport, will be able to accuse employers of violating obligations and terminate the contract with them. And in this case, the club will be obliged to pay the player the entire salary due to him until the end of the contract, that is, until 2024.
