It’s always jolly in the Hollywood of football.While waiting for the end of another season in which the Champions League was not won, the players of Paris Saint-Germain are doing what they are expected in the domestic league and stepping toward a title that has no particular value. Along the way, there is room for some affairs. More precisely, since the elimination from the Champions League, what happens off the field has become much more interesting to the French public than what happens on the field when PSG play league matches.Kylian Mbappe is in the spotlight again. He publicly announced that he is angry with the club with which he signed a three-year contract worth 636,000,000 euros (gross salary, signing bonus and loyalty bonus) a year ago.##NAJAVA_MECA_7153316##Mbappe was upset that his club used him on official social media profiles to promote the sale of annual tickets for the next season. PSG released a video urging fans to renew their season tickets and memberships, with Mbappe starring in the promo material. He was filmed sitting in the stands of Parc des Princes and talking about the importance of the support of the fans who are “the twelfth player” of the team, the atmosphere in the stadium, the pride of being a Parisian… While he is talking, still-shots are showing some of the young players from the Saints’ first team, such as Nuno Mendes, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Ismael Gharbi… But the other two stars of the Saints: Lionel Messi and Neymar – do not appear at any time in the material.Mbappe now claims he did not know why he was being filmed.”I have just looked at the club’s season ticket renewal campaign for the 2023/24 season. During the interview, no one informed me what it was about. It seemed like just another run-of-the-mill club marketing conversation. I do not agree with the posted video at all. That’s why I’m fighting for the players’ rights to their own image. PSG is a big club and a big family, but it’s certainly not Kylian Saint-Germain,” Mbappe said via social networks.🎟️ Kylian Mbappé au centre de la campagne d’abonnement du @PSG_inside pour la saison 2023/2024. Seuls les Titis, Nuno Mendes, les Ultras et… Jonathan Calderwood figurent sur cette vidéo. 😳Le message a le mérite d’être clair.. pic.twitter.com/Hvsdwuc2AF— PSG COMMUNITY (@psgcommunity_) April 6, 2023 The choice of the French club to focus the campaign on Mbappe and completely avoid Messi and Neymar can definitely not be taken as something trivial. It has been speculated for days that Messi will certainly leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires, and that PSG will also try to get rid of Neymar, with whom he has signed a contract until 2027.However, the question is what will be the situation with Mbappe now. Although he has one more secure year of his contract (the third for the 2024/25 season is optional), rumours are starting to surface again that he is not happy at the club and that he is thinking about a change of environment. Public distancing from the club’s plans for next season only fueled those speculations.
