The soap opera Kylian Mbappé could cause damage to the France team because there is a scenario where the PSG striker does not play a single match this season with his club.
Didier Deschamps could spend a very quiet summer vacation, after a rally in June which was well negotiated by his players. But the coach may start to worry about his captain, Kylian Mbappé.
On Friday, the Bondynois was not called up by Paris Saint-Germain for the summer tour. PSG does not consider two possibilities for its attacker: either it extends, or it will be sold. But let’s imagine that Mbappé still refuses to extend, and that he still refuses to join another club this summer with whom PSG could find an agreement (Chelsea, Al-Hilal, etc.). In this case, either PSG reinstates him… or Mbappé honors his last year of contract without playing.
The 2018 world champion would thus be ready to believe in a full season of his career, to remain faithful to his line of conduct. “I had people very close to Kylian Mbappé tonight, confirmed Daniel Riolo Friday evening on RMC. To date, Kylian Mbappé is ready to assume everything and stay at PSG even without playing. I make it clear to date, in the entourage of Mbappé, we are ready to accept everything and to sacrifice a season and not to play. It’s a real showdown. Tonight, Mbappé is obviously angry. No one from the Mbappé clan will communicate. They will wait until September to give their version but tonight Mbappé does not want to leave PSG and is ready to stay even if it means not playing and staying on the bench. »
“It sounds completely crazy but that’s the feeling of last night”, Riolo confirmed on Saturday morning. For Deschamps, it would be a disaster. If the nightmare scenario were to be confirmed, the coach of the Blues could be greatly worried about the physical condition of his best player and captain, who could approach Euro 2024 with a total lack of rhythm…
