Laurent Nicollin, the president of Montpellier, refuses to feel sorry for the fate of Kylian Mbappé. He even understands the posture of Nasser Al Khelaïfi.
Kylian Mbappé did not wish to activate the clause which allowed him to extend his contract until June 2025 with Paris Saint-Germain. The number 7 of the Rouge et Bleu intends to leave while being free next season, which makes his leaders furious. As a result, the native of Bondy has been sidelined from the professional workforce until further notice.
The captain of the France team therefore rubs shoulders with the undesirables of his club on a daily basis. “I would like to be in such a golden loft, declares Laurent Nicollin during an interview given to RMC. He’s not in the basement, we’re not going to take out the tissues and cry over the situation. I’m not at PSG, I don’t know what’s going on there or not. I don’t care, it’s not my problem. It’s good for French football if Mbappé stays in France, then if PSG feels cheated and they want to sell the player, good for Paris. I have no judgment on the attitudes of each other. We will see at the end of August-beginning of September when it will be finished. I think he will return to the pro squad. »

The president of Montpellier fully understands the attitude of Nasser Al Khelaïfi, who sent an ultimatum to Mbappé. “He must feel betrayed. I did not discuss with him but one cannot criticize him for a long time by saying that it is not a president who imposes whereas there he imposes. Afterwards, I know this world a little and Mbappé has no interest in negotiating anything because he will be free at the end of the season and will earn more than he earns. It’s not football anymore. Football is about the field and about creating joy and passion. They will find a solution and we will see in the end. This is PSG’s concern, not mine, added Nicollin. Humanly… I think some things I won’t say but it’s not football anymore,” concludes the son of Louis Nicollin.
