– He has a crazy ego. Too big an ego, I think. That’s what Direktesport’s Ligue 1 commentator Robin Haugen says about Kylian Mbappé, who has been stormed around this season. The spring’s “soap opera” seemed to end when Mbappé chose to sign a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain instead of announcing a transfer to Real Madrid. EXTENSION: Kylian Mbappé signed a new contract with PSG in May. Photo: FRANCK FIFE / AFP But on Tuesday, rumors began to abound again, a few months after the contract was signed. A number of mediums in France and Spain agreed that the Frenchman once again wants to leave PSG, and that he is frustrated with certain people at the club. – I can “categorically deny” that he is on his way away. Whether he is satisfied or not, you have to ask him. To me, it seems that he will stay at the club, because he has not said anything else to either me or the president, PSG sporting director Luis Campos told RMC Sport. At the same time, investigative journalists in the French newspaper Mediapart believe that PSG has engaged an external PR agency to launch a smear campaign against Mbappé. The agency confirms this, but the club denies the claims. The coach with a mysterious Mbappé message The British major newspaper Independent claims for its part that there are several things that Mbappé is dissatisfied with, and which he claims promises have been broken on PSG’s part. Among other things, it should be said that Lionel Messi and Neymar have been given freer roles out on the wings, while Mbappé has been their striker. According to the British newspaper, the Frenchman must have had a desire to play at the top in a two-team with another striker instead. It may have something to do with the special note to head coach Christophe Galtier from the match against Benfica on Tuesday, which was still 1-1. It says: “Kylian prefers to play on the right!!”. Despite the remarkable note, the French superstar was again used as a centre-forward in a three against Benfica.

Independent’s sources claim there is “internal war” at the club, and the future of Campos and Galtier is also said to be uncertain. In addition, Messi is on an expiring contract, and can leave the club free of charge in the summer of 2023. – If they lose all of these within a few transfer window weeks, then it is clear that they will be weakened. It is a horror scenario. Then there may quickly be an opinion that the PSG project is on the way down, and that was precisely why they went to such lengths to keep Mbappé, says Haugen. COMMENTATOR: Robin Haugen, commentator for Direktesport.

There are many good footballers out there that they can bring in, he believes. Spanish mediums are already pointing to Real Madrid as a possible destination for the 23-year-old, but their head coach Carlo Ancelotti commented on the rumor after Madrid had played 1-1 against Shakhtar Donetsk. – You (the reporter) have the courage to ask that question. I’m not going to answer, said the Italian coach. Ancelotti’s former centre-back and now team-mate of Mbappé, Sergio Ramos, is hitting back against the rumors that circulated in the media on Tuesday. – The only thing I can say is that I am very good friends with Kylian. He is very happy every day. He didn’t leave the club before, and I don’t believe in rumours, Ramos told Canal+ after the Benfica match. Being criticized by former star players The Mbappé rumor has not gone down well with everyone. – The only thing I want to say to him is: “Kylian, grow up.” This is life”. Now everyone is upset with him. He does everything personally, and he put himself above the club. Has everything that has happened in recent months, with the highest salary in the world, crossed his mind? says the former French soccer player Emmanuel Petit according to RMC. The French legend Thierry Henry was also not impressed by his younger compatriot. – There is something that is bigger than everything else: the club. I didn’t like playing on the edge in Barcelona, but I had to do it. If the coach asks you to do something, you do it out of consideration for the team, Henry said on the CBS broadcast. It is not the only time there has been noise around Mbappé this season. The Frenchman has since the summer of 2021 formed a super trio at the top consisting of himself, Neymar and Messi. One would think that all defenders would tremble. FEARED TRIO: It still does not seem that the relationship between the three stars is rosy during the day. Photo: STEPHANE MAHE / Reuters But since Mbappé signed a new contract for Paris Saint-Germain, it must have been turbulent between the three stars. Several mediums point to Neymar and Messi on the one hand, and Mbappé on the other. Although the reports have not been confirmed, things may indicate that the relationship is not rosy. Because in the match against Montpellier earlier this autumn, there was an incident that attracted attention: Mbappé had missed a penalty kick earlier in the match, and later PSG got another penalty kick. Neymar grabbed the ball and got ready to take the penalty kick. Then the TV footage showed an apparently disgruntled Mbappé who first ran into Messi and then turned towards Neymar. There, the TV footage showed him going over and talking to Neymar, but the Brazilian kept his head cool and scored from the penalty mark soon after.
