RMC was the first to drop this little bomb. The team et The Parisian followed him. The two media announce on Tuesday that Kylian Mbappé wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain. Yes, only five months after extending his contract with the capital club, after an incredible soap opera whose outcome seemed, for a long time, to see the French football prodigy join Real Madrid. Mbappé had finally chosen to link his future to the club of the capital and to embody the project, more than ever. Five months later, he would therefore have completely changed his mind…

Stars versus left behind: Galtier and the impossible rotation

The reasons which would push him to want to leave Paris would be linked to promises made by the club at the time of his contract extension and ultimately not kept, according to the three media. Mbappé would not be satisfied with the transfer window of PSG and the consequences of the summer market on his positioning within the formation of Christophe Galtier. Lined up at the tip of an attacking trident he forms with Leo Messi and Neymar, the Frenchman doesn’t seem to be enjoying his pivotal position, as he hinted by an enigmatic post on Instagram Saturday after the draw in Reims (0-0).
Campos also leaving?
His sulky attitude in Champagne, added to statements made during the gathering of the France team in September, as well as his behavior during the victory against Montpellier (5-2) indicated a certain malaise at Mbappé. His communication, sometimes confusing, also went in this direction. His desire to leave the club would thus reflect that he does not have the place he wants at the heart of the PSG project despite his choice to seal his future there. Even if it is perhaps a way to put pressure on his management so that the changes he wants finally take place.
Because a transfer from Mbappé in January, as mentioned, seems difficult to achieve. Paris is in a strong position after extending his contract and Real Madrid are not necessarily going to rush to this opportunity after the snub that Mbappé inflicted on them in May. But other elements must be taken into consideration. Like a possible departure of Luis Campos. According to Le Parisien, the PSG sports adviser could also leave the club if Mbappé were to leave. It is thus a question of the two men who embodied the revolution wanted by Paris this summer. Five months later, the foundations of this new project seem seriously shaken.
