The Kylian Mbappé case sends L1 players into a tailspin

Kylian Mbappé will leave. After exploding in the AS Monaco jersey, Bondy’s crack took on another dimension at Paris Saint-Germain. A club where he has experienced ups and downs in seven years. At the end of the contract next June, KM7 announced to Nasser Al-Khelaïfi at the start of the week that it would leave the capital at the end of the 2023-24 season. If the captain of the Blues has not announced his future destination, he will settle down at Real Madrid this summer as revealed by us on January 7. After Neymar and Lionel Messi, Ligue 1 will lose another star.

L1 players questioned on the subject

Asked about the Frenchman at a press conference on Friday, Luis Enrique kicked in, unsurprisingly. “No, I have no information to give you (…) I will try to finish on this subject. Until the parties involved weigh in, I will not comment. I’m the coach. I will speak when the parties speak. We will continue to work. The team is above everyone else, that’s our message. The club is above all individuality. Like him, other actors from our dear L1 were questioned about the Mbappé case, like Moussa Diarra.

After TFC’s defeat yesterday in the Europa League against Benfica, a journalist from Canal+ asked him for his opinion on the KM7 announcement. And his response was cash. “The departure of Kylian Mbappé? I don’t know what to think about it, I’m playing in Toulouse. I play against Benfica and someone talks to me about PSG? It’s not that I don’t care a bit honestly, but I have other problems, rather than managing Mbappé’s career. It’s hard to prove him wrong. Like him, Marcin Bulka was questioned after Nice’s defeat in Lyon on Friday evening (1-0).

Bulka’s bleeding response

The Bondynois’ former teammate released a killer response in the mixed zone when a journalist asked him if this departure affected him. “Why should this affect us? (…) Madam, we are playing in Nice so it does not concern us (he shows his badge, editor’s note). It’s not our problem. We need to stop asking these questions a bit because it’s no use.” More peaceful than the Nice goalkeeper, Clinton Mata also answered a question about the future departure of Mbappé. More diplomatic, the OL defender however indicated that he was not concerned about it.

“I’ll tell you the truth. I saw a video about that (Diarra’s, editor’s note). I will answer you the same. Here, in my club, I only care about our results and I don’t look at what’s happening elsewhere, Mbappé or not…even if I respect it. It’s his decision. So as soon as you see him, I think it would be good to ask him.” Pierre Sage responded on the subject. “It’s logical in his dream, in his continuity. He is targeting Europe, he has covered the matter in Paris. He’s won a lot of titles, now he’s going to play in Europe one last time, that’s what I wish them. If he could leave before our match against PSG, that wouldn’t bother me.” The questions about the departure of KM7 are likely to annoy more than one…
