Kylian Mbappé’s Role in PSG’s Summer Clear-Out Revealed

In 2022, to persuade Kylian Mbappé to extend his contract with PSG, the Qatari ownership made significant promises to the French international, particularly regarding the club’s transfer strategies. What exactly were these assurances made to Mbappé? According to Jérôme Rothen, the recent departures of Marco Verratti and Neymar in the summer of 2023 might not be coincidental.

Last summer, the PSG embarked on a considerable overhaul of its roster. The Parisian club aimed to move away from its extravagant image. As part of this transformation, Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos left the club upon the expiration of their contracts. Meanwhile, Neymar and Marco Verratti were sold to clubs in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, respectively. Both players had fallen out of favor with the PSG management, particularly under Luis Enrique. However, it seems that Kylian Mbappé may have played a role in these developments.

Was Mbappé Behind the Departures?

Could it be that Kylian Mbappé was instrumental in the exits of Neymar and Marco Verratti from PSG? During a segment on RMC, Jérôme Rothen suggested a potential connection, stating: “I’m not saying Mbappé was in charge of recruitment, but there has been a clear strategy. When you part ways with Verratti and Neymar, and other players who didn’t speak French but communicated in different languages, it indicates he provided direction to the club. The issue is that the club followed his lead.”

Neymar felt like Kylian was behind a bulletproof glass, untouchable. He thought, ‘Forget everyone else,’” insiders from Neymar’s camp remarked.
