France and Paris St-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe has voiced his concerns about his current club, referring to it as “divisive” in an interview with France Football magazine. As speculations about his future with the French champions continue to grow, Mbappe, who is 24 years old and has a contract with PSG until 2024, has informed the club that he will not be signing a new deal.
Mbappe reportedly stated, “I believe that playing for PSG doesn’t contribute much due to the divisive nature of the team and the club.” PSG’s record goal scorer has expressed his desire to leave the club once his contract expires next summer, but PSG chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has made it clear that he will not allow Mbappe to depart on a free transfer.
Despite helping PSG secure their 11th league title by scoring 41 goals in all competitions last season, Mbappe’s aspirations of Champions League success were thwarted once again as the team was eliminated in the round of 16 by Bayern Munich. Reflecting on the team’s performance, Mbappe remarked, “We gave it our all. The decisions regarding the team, squad organization, and club structure should be addressed to those in charge.”
With the recent appointment of Luis Enrique as head coach, replacing Christophe Galtier, PSG finds themselves in a transitional phase. The departure of Argentine World Cup winner Lionel Messi, 36, to MLS side Inter Miami has already been confirmed, and the future of Brazilian forward Neymar, 31, remains uncertain.
