Kylian Mbappe Calls Paris St-Germain “Divisive” as Doubts Over His Future Intensify
France striker Kylian Mbappe has called his club side Paris St-Germain “divisive” as doubts over his future intensify. The all-time leading scorer of the club has told the club he will not sign a new deal.
Mbappe, who has won Ligue 1 five times with PSG since joining from Monaco in 2017, scored 41 goals in all competitions last season as he helped the club clinch an 11th league title. But they once again failed in their quest for Champions League success as they were knocked out in the last 16 by Bayern Munich.
“I think that playing for PSG doesn’t help much because it’s a divisive team, a divisive club,” Mbappe is reported as saying. “We did what we could [in the Champions League], period. You have to talk to the people who make the team, who organise the squad, who build this club.”
PSG Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has said he will not allow Mbappe to leave on a free transfer when his contract expires next summer.
New Head Coach Luis Enrique Takes Over Squad in Transition
Luis Enrique was appointed new head coach last week, replacing Christophe Galtier, and takes over a squad in transition. The club has already allowed Argentine World Cup winner Lionel Messi, 36, to join MLS side Inter Miami, while the future of Brazil forward Neymar, 31, is also in doubt.
The new coach will have to work with a squad that is in flux and with the future of two of its star players uncertain. Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and his departure would be a huge blow for PSG.
Mbappe’s Future Uncertain
Mbappe’s future is uncertain and it remains to be seen if he will stay at PSG or move on to pastures new. He has been linked with a move to Real Madrid and Liverpool, while Manchester City are also reportedly interested in signing him.
The 21-year-old has been one of the most consistent performers for PSG since joining the club and his departure would be a huge blow for them. He is one of the most sought-after players in Europe and his departure would be a huge loss for the French champions.
