Mbappé criticizes PSG leaders, who are already withholding two months of his salary

Kylian Mbappécaptain of the France team, criticized the team’s management on Tuesday Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and showed his gratitude to the coach, Luis Enrique Martínez, and the sports advisor Luis Campos.

“They have saved me, without them I would not have set foot on the playing field”he declared Mbappe in a press conference prior to France’s friendly against Luxembourg, the first since his signing for Real Madrid for the next five seasons was announced on Monday.

The French forward thus alluded to the dispute he had last summer with the club chaired by Nasser Al-Khelaifiwhich decided to remove him from the team’s discipline for three weeks for having refused to renew his contract.

“They spoke to me in a violent way, that’s why I was sure I wasn’t going to play anymore.”he recalled Mbappewithout mentioning any names.

“It would be a bit of bad faith to come here and spit, to say that I was not happy at PSG, but it is true that there were things there that made me unhappy”he added.

Mbappe now maintains a new pulse with Al-Khelaifi about the conditions of his departure from the Parisian club.

The Bondy prodigy asserted that he was educated to “Do not cry” and recognized that it is ““A privileged person who is paid extraordinarily for doing what he likes most.”

The captain of ‘Les Bleus’ admitted that the 44 goals he has scored this season “They are a little off their standard“, but he clarified that, taking into account the conditions he had at PSG, “It has been the best season” of his career.

Loyalty bonus?

PSG, which is in a fight with Mbappe Through his lawyers as a result of his departure to Real Madrid, he has not paid his May salary either, after having done the same with the April monthly payment, according to L’Équipe.

The club puts pressure in this way on the one who has been its star in recent seasons to “recover” 80 million euros equivalent to the loyalty bonus that the player had proposed giving up last summer in exchange for being reinstated in the group from which he had been excluded.

PSG has so far withheld two monthly payments and a bonus that was planned because the bonus had already been given in February, with the hope that it would finally be Real Madrid that would put the money on the table.

But when he was aware that the club from the Spanish capital was not going to put up that money, since it has no obligation when Mbappé is released at the end of June, the president of PSG, Nasser al Khelaïfilooked for another way to force the player to fulfill the promise he made last summer to give up the bonus.

However, Mbappe He considers that this resignation entailed his reintegration into the group and since he informed Al Khelaïfi in mid-February that he would leave the French club, a kind of void was created for him and his playing volume was reduced.

Specifically, he estimates that the reasons that led the coach, Luis Enrique, to leave him on the bench much more frequently in the last part of the season were not sporting and that in practice the president did not fulfill his part of last summer’s commitment .

If the dispute festers, L’Équipe anticipates that it could end up before the legal commission of the Professional Football League, which would be the one to decide.
