Kylian Mbappe will remain a Paris Saint-Germain player after the January transfer window; Mbappe remains unhappy at the club as a result of last summers ...

"It's a difficult situation for him because there are very few clubs who could put across the package that PSG would want and then he personally would want. He's not happy about that and some of the transfer business. Mbappe is playing centre-forward and that's not what he wanted to do. He's being asked to play as a central striker and he doesn't like the tactics the new head coach Christophe Galtier is using. "Part of it was that he thought Neymar was going to leave the club in the summer and the opposite has happened: he's playing well and scoring and making goals alongside Lionel Messi. PSG sources believe the stories about Mbappe are coming out of Spain and are intended to destabilise PSG.

Paris Saint-Germain would be willing to sell Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool, but only if they can deprive the Reds of a big name in return, it's been claimed.

For now, Liverpool will be waiting to see if they can get anything better out of Salah. The Premier League side would be regenerating their attack for years to come. [If Mahmoud is to be believed](https://twitter.com/ismaeelmahmoudd/status/1579824843033575424), the 30-year-old would be Paris Saint-Germain’s top target to replace Mbappe.

There have been various reports casting doubt on his happiness at Paris Saint-Germain, despite him only signing a contract extension with them in the summer.

[proved](https://defector.com/paris-belongs-to-kylian-mbappe/) that he could be the best player on the team and probably even the best player in the world. But it would be just as hard not to admit that Neymar (nine goals and nine assists in 14 matches) and Messi (seven goals and eight assists in 12), empowered in their favored positions, have been the real drivers of PSG’s efforts this season. Should PSG stick to its usual stubbornness, Mbappé could soon discover that the biggest impediment to the realization of his career aspirations isn’t Neymar, but is in fact PSG itself—a team built expressly by and for him, but one he still hasn’t been able to claim full ownership of. That makes the prospect of Mbappé leaving Paris in January or even next summer a highly dubious proposition. It would be hard to argue that Mbappé is being misused at PSG this season, seeing as he’s scored 12 goals in 13 games so far across Ligue 1 and the Champions League. They report that the player feels “betrayed” by the club for how it failed to adhere to the promises it made him as a condition on his extending his contract: principally, promises in the transfer market, his playing position, and his role as the leader and most important piece of the club’s project. The seeds of the present discontentment can be found both in that contract and in PSG’s success this year. His joining PSG—which itself, according to reports, was done at the behest of Mbappé—was supposed to signal a new day at the club as it distanced itself from its showy but poorly considered team-building strategies to adopt a more coherent plan. Campos is one of the most respected soccer executives in Europe and has close ties with Mbappé going back to their time together at Monaco. Le Parisien also reports that Luís Campos, who signed with PSG this summer as the club’s sporting director, is also close to leaving the club. [quite a few](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/27/sports/soccer/kylian-mbappe-psg-contract.html) dollars) why Kylian Mbappé chose to re-sign with Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season. But right when Mbappé could’ve escaped PSG’s golden cage by joining Madrid on a free transfer, he instead decided to stay in Paris, no doubt hoping that the club’s financial commitment and its many promises that he would be the team’s focal star going forward would earn him the status he desired without forcing him to leave home.

Kylian Mbappe pushed past the outside noise to score for Paris Saint-Germain in a 1-1 draw with Benfica on Tuesday.

The goal made Mbappe the club's all-time top scorer in the Champions League, but his goal & the lead it gave PSG did not translate into a positive second-half performance.

Kylian Mbappe has reportedly been attacked by social media accounts contracted by Paris Saint-Germain to speak out against their perceived rivals.

We need a response on the pitch,” the Paname account again tweeted. A few months before, the French international had earlier ruled out joining Real Madrid on the French television show Telefoot. “The Parisian supporters love you very much, you know that. 'If the boss asks you to do something, you do it' - Henry critical of Mbappe attitude Earlier this week it was widely reported that Mbappe had a change of heart over his commitment to PSG, which saw him sign a new contract in the summer when many had anticipated a switch to Real Madrid. It is not known if that development is linked to the claim made in this new report, but it is also believed that the Frenchman’s chances of signing with Real are slim after they had anticipated his arrival last summer, only to be turned down.

Mbappe is supposed to be the brilliant young cornerstone of PSG's dominance and yet, just 143 days after signing a new deal, he wants out. Why?

He sees it at training and in matches, and he doesn't believe a quick fix is possible. Mbappe was told that Neymar would be sold in the summer, yet he is still there and thriving in the position Mbappe thought would be his own. The lack of depth at the back is a worry. Against Benfica, we saw some of the limitations of his PSG team, especially in defensive transitions. [Milan Skriniar](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/175195/Milan-Skriniar) was the target all summer, but he never came, and now PSG are arguably weak in the heart of defense following the injury to [Presnel Kimpembe](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/207015/Presnel-Kimpembe) and the red card to [Sergio Ramos](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/41579/Sergio-Ramos) last weekend at Reims. He was the focus of all the pregame talk, all the TV shows, all the radio shows and all the newspaper columns, and he was a major topic on social media. They tried for [Robert Lewandowski](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/125824/Robert-Lewandowski) (who joined [Barcelona](/soccer/team?id=83) instead), [Gianluca Scamacca](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/233140/Gianluca-Scamacca) (who joined West Ham) and even [Marcus Rashford](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/230945/Marcus-Rashford), but failed every time. They used to be friends, but their contrasting trajectories -- Mbappe is very much on the rise given his profile, while Neymar is winding down and arguably entering the final years of his career -- mean they have grown apart. The world was watching, and to be fair, they had been since he got off the [Paris Saint-Germain](/soccer/team?id=160) team bus with [Achraf Hakimi](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/240233/Achraf-Hakimi), his friend and teammate, almost four hours earlier. The Frenchman is also playing a position -- lone striker -- that he doesn't like. He wants to be paired with a second striker, to have more freedom by playing off a more conventional No. He feels betrayed by all the promises made, but not kept, by PSG when he extended his contract.

The latest court fight will do little to lower the temperature, and it is not over. “People in football are cowards,” Tebas said Wednesday, explaining why others have not been as outspoken as he has about the market-altering influence of teams like P.S.G. paid the French star Kylian Mbappé a signing-on fee of more than $100 million to reject the overtures of Real Madrid. What is uncommon is the lengths La Liga has gone to ensure it receives the money it says it is owed. But it also will shine a spotlight on the influence of al-Khelaifi, whose simultaneous roles as the chairman of P.S.G. “If we ran our operations reacting to certain executive’s comments on others within the sports industry, we wouldn’t be in business,” the company said. “He knows exactly what he is doing,” Tebas said of al-Khelaifi. But the company said it would not discuss its private, contractual discussions with La Liga or any rights-holder, adding, “That is not how business should be conducted, certainly not by professional and dignified institutions.” The beIN spokesman said 10 million euros of the debt had been repaid on Oct.

But according to a court document reviewed by The New York Times, the network had so far failed to pay more than 50 million euros it owed the Spanish league for this season’s games.
