The announcement of Kylian Mbappé’s departure plans from January, revealed on October 11 by brand and The Parisian, had caused an explosion in the Parisian locker room. But why, just a few weeks after signing a golden extension with fine gold with PSG, did his star striker want to get away?
According The Team, this reaction was largely explained by an event that was thought to be reserved for a company in difficulty, such as an English rugby club. The sports daily revealed on Monday that at the time of the disclosure of the information, Paris had not yet paid Mbappé a good part of his September salary. Which is frankly messy for such a rich club, especially when his very dear teammates Neymar and Lionel Messi have never experienced this kind of problem.
The highest paid player in the world
The anomaly would have been resolved since, but on the spot, it left a bitter feeling for the French world champion and his clan, especially since the justifications of the PSG, linked to constraints due to the requirements of fair play financial, would not have been really convincing to their liking.
A priori, this unfortunate setback did not weigh too much on the finances of Kylian Mbappé, who has become since his summer extension the richest player in the world, with total annual income estimated at 131 million euros, according to the magazine. Forbes.
