The UNFP, the French players’ union, has issued a scathing tirade against Paris Saint-Germain for their treatment of Kylian Mbappé.
The 24-year-old has been essentially exiled from the PSG squad after refusing to change his stance on a contract extension with the French giants. As things stand, the Bondynois will be free next summer.
In a letter which would have been sent to Mbappé, the PSG writes that his decision “did not fail to cause enormous damage, going against the spirit of our discussions and further announcing to the market that you would be free on June 30, 2024, thus increasing the damage caused to the club. » Only an immediate departure or the signing of an extension will allow “to avoid a lasting paralysis of the club caused by your recent actions. »
The UNFP reacts
The UNFP reacted forcefully. “The players are considered “undesirable” despite respecting the contracts signed in good and due form… And a good dozen Paris Saint-Germain employees are concerned, or even more if we add the first professional contracts! “.
” Timothée Pembélé, Colin Dagba, Ismaël Gharbi, Abdou Diallo, Layvin Kurzawa, Leandro Paredes, Georginio Wijnaldum, Keylor Navas, Édouard Michut, still others (?) and Kylian Mbappé, same fight! For the respect, in France, of the signed contracts! »
“Nasser (Al-Khelaifi) has no say. Dear President, to this day they are still under contract with the PSG… The UNFP has constantly denounced this practice which, with the dismissal of the captain of the France team, will perhaps encourage… the sports and political bodies to finally take up the case, unless in France, employees can be prevented from exercising their professional activity with complete impunity. »
“It should be remembered here that the UNFP is still waiting for the Minister of Sports to receive us to discuss this subject and that last November, a delegation from our union was expelled by the police from the Ministry of Sports for having had the audacity to come and ask to speak about moral harassment in French professional football. »
