Mbappé, PSG straight into the wall

The Parisian leaders will have to submit to the regulations related to the operation of the “loft”. Kylian Mbappé and the other current undesirables will prevail.

If the leaders of PSG are aware of Article 507 of the Professional Football Charter, they know that Kylian Mbappé will come out a winner from the loft. The fact of having removed from the group its best player, like other undesirables, before placing it in a second, cannot last.

From September 1, says the Charter, clubs must ” give their professional players under contract the means to train to enable them to reach or maintain a level of physical condition sufficient for the practice of professional football in competition. »

The contract is binding

Clearly, warm-up exercises or “toros” with a maximum of ten players cannot be qualified as training for the high level. Kylian Mbappé, sanctioned by his management for having told him not to want to activate the optional year of his contract (which would have gone until 2025), did not change his position. At least in public.

He has repeated several times in recent weeks that he wants to stay at PSG in 2023-2024. And the club of the capital cannot prevent it since it is under contract.

Can we imagine, at 1er September, Luis Enrique have Kylian Mbappé at his disposal and not play him, under the influence of his management wishing to continue the sanction against the captain of the Blues?

It is hard to imagine this scenario when the players’ union (UNFP) recalled in a forum published last month on its site the reality of the labor code.

The practice of ” pressure on an employee – via the deterioration of his working conditions for example – to force him to leave or to accept what the employer wants constitutes moral harassment. »
