Kylian Mbappé’s absence from Paris Saint-Germain’s tour of Japan has surprised even his own teammates. The French striker has stayed in Paris along with the rest of the footballers the club does not count on, but he continues to be the center of attention.
As soon as he landed in Japan, the PSG captain, Marquinhos, was the first to rule on this case. The Brazilian has hoped that the Mbappé affair would be “resolved well” and the striker could return to the group because he is “an exceptional player.” “He is an exceptional player, very strong, but it is a matter of management, I hope he works out well and that he comes back with us and helps us this season,” said the Brazilian international at the first promotional event for PSG’s Asian tour.
These statements, made from Japan and reported by the French media, are the first that a member of PSG’s first team has made since Mbappé went to the group of “defenestrated” on Friday for not wanting to renew with the club until 2025. The Parisian leaders are convinced that the French international already has an agreement to join Real Madrid for free next year.
The French soccer players union itself has warned that by excluding Mbappè from the group, PSG could be incurring a case of “moral harassment” over the player, although the French striker has not been very affected in his public appearances. The PSG star even signed smiling autographs with the fans who came to the Parisian club’s sports complex yesterday.
