Deprived of the trip by his team, Kylian Mbappé was the main subject of PSG’s first press conference in Japan.
He is the great absentee. After he had just played PSG’s first friendly match, against Le Havre (2-0), Kylian Mbappé was not retained in the Paris Saint-Germain group on Friday evening for the preparation tour in Japan.
The capital club wants to put pressure on its player, who is suspected of having already reached an agreement with Real Madrid to join Spain in 2024, at the end of his contract. The PSG therefore plays the arm-wrestling thoroughly, a position which surprised the other players, according to RMC. And the Mbappé subject could not be avoided during the Parisians’ first press conference, this Sunday in Osaka.
It was thus Marquinhos who was questioned. “Even in Japan, you are there with your questions”, first reacted the Brazilian, who hoped to get away with it without having to address this hot topic.
” It’s delicate, recognized the Parisian captain. He’s an exceptional player, very strong, but it’s a decision that goes beyond us players. This is a question for management. We always want to have the great players on our side, I hope we will have a good solution so that he can come back and help us for this season. »
