Six Paris Saint-Germain players have complained to club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi following comments made in an interview by Kylian Mbappe, according to The Athletic.
Mbappe gave an interview to French publication France Football, via L’Equipe, in which he called PSG a “divisive club” which tends to “attract gossip”.
Mbappe also suggested that PSG had perhaps reached a “glass ceiling” with regard to their lack of success in the Champions League, suggesting it was a question that needed to be answered by those “who build the team”.
Mbappe informed the Ligue 1 champions last month in a letter that he will not be triggering the extension option in his contract that would take his stay in Paris until June 2025.
Al-Khelaifi said earlier this week that Mbappe would not be allowed to leave for free next summer — when his contract expires — and that the 24-year-old had two weeks to decide whether to remain at the club.
PSG sent Mbappe a three-page letter, dated July 3, accusing him of causing “enormous harm" to the club and informing him he had a deadline of July 31 to resolve his future.
Mbappe said last month he would remain at PSG this season before making a decision about his future in the summer of 2024.
