PSG: the UNFP steps up for Mbappé and denounces harassment

Now in open conflict with the management of Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé was not selected to take part in the pre-season tour in Japan. But while the tricolor international does not plan to review his position which is to go to the end of his contract with PSG running until June 2024, the capital club has been resolutely firm on this subject:“Kylian Mbappé will have to extend in Paris, otherwise he will be sold this summer”. At the risk of spending the season on the bench.

A situation that made the president of the UNFP, Philippe Piat, react on the airwaves of RMC. “It’s a war of attrition, he announced. The regulatory situation allows the club to do with its workforce as it wants. After September 1, things have to come back. It’s a coincidence that the transfer window ends on September 1. It allows the club to manage its workforce up to a given moment. After that, he can’t do as he wants. With an often bloated workforce, you have to manage to bring out an osmosis between the players who have to play. It allows the clubs to have the capacity to organize themselves with the coach.

And the boss of the professional footballers’ union also called the French champion to order concerning the sidelining of the Parisian group which the Bondynois is currently subject to. “If the two parties have not agreed on a way out of the crisis, we will have to ask for the texts to be respected. Respect for the texts is to allow Mbappé to train normally, probably to force the club to make him play because otherwise it would be harassment. This would become illegal under labor law. When it comes to a player who is not very well known, it can be made to believe that he is not in good shape. As for the best player in the world, it is not possible to suggest that it is not for sanction reasons. The text to which I refer provides for sanctions if a player is sidelined for reasons that are not sporting. Procedures will be implemented.”
