On social networks, the attacker expressed his disagreement with the use of his remarks in a clip launching the future subscription campaign.
A bomb. And a speech that is likely to make a lot of noise at Paris SG where its future is still written in dotted lines. Kylian Mbappé spoke on social networks this Thursday at the start of the afternoon to disassociate himself from a video launching the subscription campaign for next season. Presented as the only star of this club while Neymar and Messi shine by their absence from the sequence, the attacker sent a media bomb which risks shaking the walls of the Factory, the club’s headquarters, in Boulogne-Billancourt .
«I have just taken part in the viewing of the club’s renewal campaign for the 2023-2024 season. At no time was I informed of the content of the interview with my interlocutor. It looked like a basic interview at a club marketing day. I disagree with this posted video. That’s why I fight for individual image rights. PSG is a big club and a big family, but it is certainly not Kylian Saint-Germain“Launched the international visibly very annoyed by what he considers to be a misappropriation of his remarks and the misuse of his image.
An internal source at PSG tells the Figaro that the club exchanged with the Mbappé clan to explain itself.
After having made the French Football Federation bend on the subject a few months ago, does the Parisian striker intend to tackle the problem in the club with which he is contractually bound? Possible. A revolution may be afoot in the football economy.
Kylian Mbappé’s message on social networks Instagram
«The atmosphere, the terrain, the atmosphere… The Parc des Princes envelops a lot of things, it’s the 12th man, it’s what brings us additional strength to fight our battles, says Mbappé in particular. To be Parisian is to be proud of what you are, of what you represent, proud to be ambitious, to want to do things, to want to win, to always surpass yourself and never forget to where we come from“Explains in particular Mbappé, head of the gondola of the club in the video. The promising Parisian “Titis” Warren Zaire-Emery, Ismaël Gharbi and Ilyes Housni as well as the Portuguese international Nuno Mendes appear in the clip, as well as the gardener of the stadium but only Mbappé speaks.
This choice to highlight Mbappé so much while his two attacking friends Messi and Neymar do not have the right to speak will only rekindle speculation around the future of the latter two. The trend of Messi leaving has only grown in recent days. This media release also risks reviving rumors of the departure of the 2018 world champion, under contract until June 2024 (with an optional year that only he can activate).

Video temporarily unavailable
Posted on Wednesday, the video was no longer available in the middle of the afternoon on Thursday, before being visible again. The club mentioned to Le Figaro an internal validation problem on content intended for subscribers. Mbappé, who had contributed to the end of the reign of Noël Le Graët by regretting on social networks the words of the former president of the FFF concerning Zinédine Zidane and the France team, and made the Federation bend last year French on the thorny question of the right to the image, demonstrates once again its media power. Never in the history of French sport has an athlete benefited from such a strong influence. And the reign of the “crack de Bondy” may have only just begun.
