Kylian Mbappé’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain last summer particularly affected certain members of his clan.
Kylian Mbappé had an eventful summer, marked by his refusal to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain. Which had significant significant repercussions. Indeed, the French striker was excluded from the professional group for several weeks, a difficult period for him and those around him.
“Totally false statements”
Wilfrid Mbappé, Kylian’s father, in particular, was “angry” about this situation. Christian Jeanpierre, journalist and close friend of the family, revealed in a documentary broadcast on the L’Équipe channel this Monday that the Parisian star was the victim of “false comments made by very high-level people. »
“It was hard there. I think he didn’t lose his temper, he judged. I think in his head, to know ‘Will’ well, he’s a pressure cooker and he wanted to plaster everyone, but he didn’t do it. He didn’t go crazy at all, there was reason for that. There were false statements made by very high-level people. Totally false statements. »
Mbappé’s father holds back
The Mbappé clan, however, preferred not to respond publicly to these rumors, a decision praised by Jeanpierre: “In these cases all you want to do is go out, call L’Équipe, and say ‘ Wait guys, we’re talking nonsense about my son’ and he didn’t do it. And I admire this phlegm, it is necessary. »
This episode marked a turning point in the relationship between the 2018 world champion and the Parisian club. Although he was eventually reinstated to the A team, KM7’s future at PSG remains uncertain.
