Mamadou Sakho did not like the management of Kylian Mbappé

At 34 years old and 11 seasons after leaving PSG, his training club, for Liverpool, Mamadou Sakho continues his playing career, he who now plays in Georgia, at Torpedo Koutaïssi. The former French international (29 caps, 2 goals) always scrutinizes Parisian news with great attention and believes in J-1 on Canal+ Sport Africa that PSG has a problem letting its stars leave. “PSG knows how to welcome but has difficulty saying goodbye. I think it’s a shame but it’s a fact. When we see the reception of Ibrahimovic, of Kylian (Mbappé), of Neymar, of Messi, and the way in which they leave, it makes my heart achehe says. I see a football club as a family. It’s like celebrating a birth. When a player arrives, we are all happy. When that child with whom you spent years grows up and decides to leave the family cocoon, you have to accept it and know how to say goodbye.»

He takes particular example from the last proven case, that of Kylian Mbappé, who left for Real Madrid without celebration on the part of the Parisian club, even though he became its top scorer in 7 seasons. “When I presented the champion trophy to PSG last season, I had a pang in my heart to see this fantastic player leave through the back door with all that was said about him. I personally found it a shame. You have to know how to separate business from footballwarns the left-hander. Kylian Mbappé is a diamond with value. He earns astronomical sums but he generates just as much. Nobody earns a euro if it’s not worth it. That’s up to his parents, his advisors and the club’s leaders. I think that Kylian, as a football player, entered every Parisian home, every house in France. It made young people in training centers and schools dream. We must thank him for that and realize how lucky we were to have had him in our stadium and in our capital. He carried our colors high, French ones, he continues to do so, and at Paris Saint-Germain.»
