The French superstar’s relationship with PSG continues to deteriorate.
Six Paris Saint-Germain players have reportedly complained to the club about Kylian Mbappe’s recent interview with France Football.
In his interview, conducted on June 12 and published this week, Mbappe was critical of the club, its recent signings, and the French league.
The French striker expressed his perception of being undervalued at PSG and questioned the role of the club in shaping that perception.
“Are people trivializing my performances? Yes, but at the same time, I don’t blame them. In France, they saw me grow up, they see me all the time, at PSG every weekend or in selection,” he said.
“I think playing at Paris-SG doesn’t help much because it’s a divisive team, a divisive club. So, of course it attracts gossip but it doesn’t bother me because I know what I’m doing and how I do it.”
Earlier this summer, a report from L’Equipe claimed Mbappe had decided against triggering the option to extend his PSG contract until 2025.
New manager Luis Enrique and Al-Khelaifi have made their stance clear: Mbappe will not be permitted to leave the club on a free transfer next summer.
The 24-year-old has been given until July 31 to either commit to a new deal or leave for a new club. Real Madrid have reemerged as the front-runners to sign Mbappe ahead of the new season, but they are yet to make a formal offer to PSG.
