The Kylian Mbappe storm that erupted at the start of the week is far from calming down. As MARCA reported on Tuesday, the striker has exploded and is determined to leave PSG in January.
The news shocked the footballing world just five months after his renewal and set off alarm bells at the Parisian club.
Both coach Christophe Galtier and sporting director Luis Campos denied that the France international was sad and eager to leave, but as the hours have progressed since the bombshell, more details of the player’s feelings have emerged.
Mbappe feels that PSG have betrayed him and that the promises of his renewal have fallen far short of reality.
The club is aware of this, despite the fact that from the outside it has been sold as a campaign to discredit the club and its star, whereby the club was reportedly asking for 400 million euros for him and ‘vetoing’ a move to Real Madrid.
With all that, and with the draw against Benfica in between in which Mbappe scored again, reports from France continue to insist that the player is very clear about his intentions. Even more so after what was revealed by RMC Sport, which reports that PSG launched a multitude of fake accounts on social networks with the aim of discrediting hostile media, but also other personalities, including players like Mbappe.
Mbappe finds it impossible to trust the club again
All this gives more and more reason to reaffirm the world champion’s decision. And that, as L’Equipe reports, Luis Campos himself had a meeting yesterday at Camp des Loges with the player. According to the French daily, the club’s sporting director understands the striker’s dissatisfaction.
Lamari Fayza, his mother, has also made this public in her own way. She did so by retweeting the message of a fan in which he explained that “a smear campaign is being led to push him to leave”, in relation to the hiring of an external agency by PSG to discredit the media and players.
The former director of UReputation, the agency in charge of these bots, acknowledged this Thursday. “For PSG to say they don’t know us is unbelievable. This was a global strategy put in place with the club’s communication department,” explained Frederic Geldhof.
All this cocktail means that, according to L’Equipe, the player’s family and entourage continue to insist that the reasons for this decision “go beyond football” and that “it is impossible to trust the club again”.
But what is clear, and while waiting to see if the player himself makes a public statement, is that his departure from the Parisian club looks complicated. At least in the short term.
