Kylian Mbappe slams PSG in extraordinary statement

Mbappe isn't happy with the Ligue 1 leaders after he was used in a video for the team, which will only add to rumours of his desire to leave

Kylian Mbappe is very unhappy with his club, Paris Saint-Germain, after hitting out at the club over their use of him in a promotional video.

The next couple of months could be extremely decisive with what happens next in Mbappe's career, just a year after signing a new deal with his club.

Once the summer comes, his deal in the French capital will only have one year left to run, with an option of another year should he want it.

There was talk last year that he had already decided he wanted out of the club, whilst they may have to get rid of him to protect their FFP from becoming an issue.

Now there could be further fractures in the relationship between player and club, after he complained about being used on promotional products.

The club released a new video, all about fans signing up to renew their season tickets, with the World Cup winner at the heart of it, as you can see below.

The Golden Boot winner from Qatar has now distanced himself from the video however, hitting out at the club for using his image in it.

"I just took part in the viewing of the club’s re-subscription campaign for the 23-24 season. At no time was I informed of the content of the interview. It looked like a basic interview during a club marketing day," he said in a statement.

"I don’t agree with this published video.

"That’s why I’m fighting for the right to the individual image. PSG is a big club and a big family but it is especially not Kylian Saint-Germain."

It brings more questions about his future at the Parc des Princes, making it seem like he wouldn't want to be falsely advertising next season.

It is, however, not the first time that the former Monaco forward has shown his unhappiness regarding the use of his image rights.

There were worries about him ahead of last year's World Cup, when he refused to be part of a promotional photo shoot with the France national team in September.

At that point it was about the amount of time that sponsors were asking him to give up, rather than money or any other potential issues.

KFC, the company whose shoot he missed, threatened to take legal action against the striker but it certainly didn't hamper him in Qatar.
