Qatar is fed up with Mbappe
According to L’Equipe, in Doha they feel betrayed by the striker, for whom they did the impossible to renew him. They consider that he does not have to dictate the rules.Not even five months have passed since PSG announced, in a packed Parc des Princes, the brand new renewal of Mbappé and the striker has already had his first discrepancies with the club at the start of the season. Last Saturday, after the Clasico against Marseille, the French international had to go to a press conference to deny the rumors that he wanted to leave the French capital in January . It was, according to reports in France, a message to calm the waters in the middle of a storm that could have a negative impact on PSG when it came to meeting their sporting goals. Much less the soap opera ended on Saturday. According to information from L’Équipe, Qatar has begun to tire of Kylian Mbappé’s attitude. In Doha they feel betrayed by the word of the player, who renewed for two seasons and is already asking to leave. In addition, from the upper echelons of the country on the Arabian Peninsula, they believe that a player cannot dictate the rules of a club, so the relationship between the two is increasingly deteriorating. Mbappé managed to appease a bubble that burst last Tuesday before the Champions League match against Benfica. However, Bondy’s talent could meet in the coming days with the Qatari leaders to settle his future. However , Qatar is not considering selling him in January after having done the impossible to keep him in Paris for two more years (which could be three if he unilaterally executes a clause that exists in his contract).
The French Federation ignores Mbappe
On September 19, Kylian Mbappé refused to participate in the photo session of the national team, considering that the French Football Federation did not want to review the image rights contract inherent to each player of the French national team. The highest instance of French football , after having refused in the first instance, promised to review the contracts just before the World Cup in Qatar to promote harmony within the team. However, those wishes of Mbappé have faded over time. According to L’Équipe, the French Football Federation has not reviewed one iota of the contracts nor does it seem that it will do so a month before the start of the World Cup in Qatar. That statement considerably reduced the tension at a critical moment for the selection, but the reality is that the image rights convention remains intact. The French Football Federation receives 108 million from sponsors and advertising per year, of which 50 correspond to Nike, its main sponsor. According to L’Équipe, it is almost impossible for the contracts to be changed before Qatar because all the players signed the same ones long ago. Brands like KFC or the sports betting with which Mbappé did not want to participate will not, a priori, have a sponsorship veto in the next World Cup.
