While Kylian Mbappé made laudatory remarks about PSG this week, the club wished him a happy birthday this Friday.
Should we see this as a sign of warming between the parties? While PSG and Kylian Mbappé have been arguing over 55 million euros for months, a sum corresponding to bonuses and salaries that the club believes it does not have to pay to its former player following his free departure to Real Madrid, the two camps have been paying attention to each other in recent days.
This Friday, the PSG X and Instagram accounts wished Kylian Mbappé a happy birthday for his 26th birthday, with photos of him in the PSG jersey as proof. It has been since the end of May that the Parisian club's social networks have not published any content on the French international. For example, he was not mentioned in the club's posts at the start of the Euro, when Mbappé was still officially under contract (but he had already announced his future departure).
After his interview with Clique on December 8, in which he spoke at length about PSG, Kylian Mbappé spoke this week to football fans with disabilities as part of the show “Be United” on BeIN Sports. One of them asked the top scorer in PSG history why he left Paris for Real Madrid last summer.
“If I hadn’t been able to go to Real, I would have stayed at PSG all my life”
“I spent seven years at PSG and it was, I think, an honor, replied Mbappé. Maybe I didn't say it enough, didn't show it enough, but I was always aware of where I was and the great club that PSG is. I always said it was the biggest club in France, one of the best in the world… I just left it to go to THE biggest club in the world. I always said that it was the only club for which I would have left PSG. If I hadn't been able to go to Real, I would have stayed at PSG all my life, but I had this dream of playing for Real. »
And Mbappé added that he was now an avid supporter of PSG. “I still watch all the PSG matches, I still have friends in the team”he also declared. If everyone will be able to judge the sincerity of these words, Mbappé seems in any case decided recently to reiterate his attachment to PSG. Perhaps he realized that he had mismanaged his exit from the club?
