Mbappé Hints at PSG Discord Before Real Madrid Move: “Things and People Made Me Unhappy”
French superstar Kylian Mbappé recently opened up about his final season at Paris Saint-Germain, revealing a layer of discontent beneath his achievements. In an interview ahead of a friendly with Luxembourg, Mbappé acknowledged he wasn’t entirely happy at PSG, attributing it to “certain things and people” [1].
While Mbappé avoided naming names, his comments shed light on a potentially strained relationship with the club’s management. This comes as no surprise considering the protracted contract saga that dominated headlines last year. Mbappé’s refusal to extend his contract ultimately led to a free transfer to Real Madrid, a move he considers a “dream come true” [2].
Mbappé’s frustration might stem from several factors. Reports suggest tension arose after he informed PSG of his desire to leave [1]. Additionally, rumors swirled about threats of exclusion from the first team if he didn’t sign a contract extension [3].
Despite the negativity, Mbappé expressed gratitude towards those who supported him at PSG. “I wasn’t unhappy,” he clarified, “that would be disrespect to the people who defended me” [2]. However, his comments suggest a significant disconnect with certain individuals within the club.
Mbappé now sets his sights on a fresh start at Real Madrid. The newly crowned Champions League winners represent a chance for him to chase his ambitions on a bigger stage. With a weight seemingly lifted, fans can expect Mbappé to return to his goalscoring best in the famous white jersey.
