While Kylian Mbappé has been excluded from the pre-season tour in Asia with the professional group of Paris Saint-Germain, the future of the striker of the France team is increasingly uncertain in the French capital even if the main interested party seems to want to go until the end of his contract in June 2024 with the Parisian club. But if Kylian Mbappé was expected at 4 p.m. at the PSG center in Poissy to participate in training which concerns all the players who were not selected for the tour in Japan, the UNFP flew to the aid of the lofters of the Rouge et Bleu, of which the Parisian star is now part. In a press release published on its website, the only union of professional footballers playing in France denounces the inadmissible treatment of “players deemed ‘undesirable’ or that the clubs want to see leave at all costs, despite respecting the contracts signed in good and due form. Freely fixed-term contracts by mutual agreement, therefore, between an employer and an employee. like Kylian Mbappé but also Édouard Michut, Keylor Navas, Leandro Paredes, Georginio Wijnaldum to name a few.
The UNFP also recalls some figures and in particular those of the last season during which “187 Ligue 1 players have, at one time or another, been invited to visit a loft. 187 Ligue 1 players and Mbappé, same fight. For the respect, in France, of the signed contracts! For the UNFP, there is no difference. There never will be.” Finally, the only union of professional footballers playing in France promises a reaction in the event of non-compliance with its rules. “As of September 1, under Article 507 of the Charter, clubs will have the obligation to reinstate all players who have been sidelined in the professional group. All. Those they want more of, those who want to leave free, all those with whom they have signed contracts, sometimes even extension clauses. So, yes, the UNFP reserves the right to initiate all civil and criminal proceedings against clubs that behave in this way…” can we read in the last lines of the press release of the UNFP.
