Kylian Mbappe was furious when PSG used his image throughout the season ticket trailer without notice. According to Mbappe, this is unacceptable because PSG have many other stars besides him.
Kylian Mbappe is furious with his club Paris Saint-Germain and the France striker has slammed them on social media in a row over an online video.
PSG have posted a promotional clip of Mbappe in an effort to sell season tickets but the 2018 World Cup winner has angrily insisted it is not ‘Kylian Saint-Germain’.
The 24-year-old is the main focus of the advert – which barely features superstar team-mates Lionel Messi and Neymar – and Mbappe has publicly claimed that he was not informed about it and has complained about image rights.
The video features an interview with Mbappe alongside clips of match action and PSG fans but the striker thought it was a ‘basic interview at a club marketing day’.
‘I just took part in the viewing of the club renewal campaign for the 23/24 season,’ Mbappe posted. ‘At no time was I informed of the content of the interview with my interlocutor.
‘It seemed like a basic interview at a club marketing day. I do not agree with this posted video.
‘This is why I fight for individual image rights. PSG is a big club and a big family, it is certainly not Kylian Saint-Germain.’
Mbappe, considered by some to be the best player in the world, is under contract until 2025 but has long been linked with a transfer to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
He has registered 202 goals and 96 assists across 251 games for PSG and scored a hat-trick in the World Cup final last year as France lost to Argentina on penalties.
Mbappe started his professional career at Monaco and after winning Ligue 1 he joined PSG, adding four more French top-flight titles to his collection.
He has also lifted three Coupe de France trophies and was a runner-up in the Champions League in 2019-20 as PSG lost to Bayern Munich.
