Kylian Mbappe latest: ‘Who does he think he is?’ – Tide begins to turn amid claims of ‘broken’ PSG relationship

The France international signed a contract extension at the club last summer, but wants to leave as early as January — that is according to reports in RMC, Marca, Le Parisien and L'Equipe. Ad Le Parisien state the source of his frustration as perceived broken promises.

Namely, Mbappe feels that agreements on transfer targets and his role within the team have not been honoured.

Mbappe posted the word “#pivotgang” which has been interpreted as a subtle dig at manager Christophe Galtier’s insistence on playing the 23-year-old at the point of the attack.

The PSG forward has previously said he preferred playing off a No. 9 rather than operating as one. «I play differently [with France]” he told L'Equipe.

“I am asked [to do] other things here compared to with my club. I have a lot more freedom here. »The coach knows that there is a No.9 like [Olivier Giroud], who occupies the defences and I can walk around and go into space.

In Paris, it's different, there isn't that [reference point]. I am asked to do ‘the pivot’, so it is different.” PSG manager Galtier discussed Mbappe's dislike for the pivot role after the draw with Reims, and also referenced PSG's summer transfer policy.
