Kylian Mbappe has slammed a report from RMC Sport, calling it fake news after his holiday to Sweden last week. The French striker missed international duty to follow a specific fitness plan, but was spotted on a night out in Stockholm during his days off.
A report from the French outlet claimed that Swedish police were investigating an accusation of rape from the hotel that Mbappe was staying at, although it was not related to the striker in any sense. Something which did not go down well with Mbappe, who tweeted out ‘FAKE NEWS’ about the story. The post by RMC Sport has since been deleted.
“It’s becoming so predictable, just before the hearing as if by chance,” Mbappe joked.
FAKE NEWS !!!! ❌❌❌
Ça en devient tellement prévisible, veille d’audience comme par hasard 😉 https://t.co/nQN98mtyzR— Kylian Mbappé (@KMbappe) October 14, 2024
The hearing he is referring to is a second court date to resolve his wage dispute with former club Paris Saint-Germain. The French giants have been ordered to pay out €55m in unpaid wages to Mbappe, and their second court date is scheduled for Tuesday. PSG dispute that they are due Mbappe any money, due to an alleged agreement between Mbappe and the club.
PSG have since responded, with an anonymous club source quoted in L’Equipe (via Sport) saying the following.
“Honestly, it’s a disgrace. PSG is responsible for everything with him. Hasn’t he scored any goals (apart from penalties) with Madrid? It’s PSG’s fault. Has he missed games with the French national team, even though he says he is, but he’s not injured? It’s PSG’s fault. Now PSG is making up stories in Sweden. Let’s ignore it and maintain our class.”
The ugly fallout between Mbappe and PSG at an institutional level continues. The hierarchy at the Parisian club were reportedly unhappy to lose Mbappe for free to Real Madrid, after Mbappe allegedly said he would not. Mbappe is increasingly frustrated that his hometown club will not pay him what he feels he is due.
“…Let’s ignore it and maintain our class.” – This made me laugh.
PSG has demonstrated on more than one occasion via the long running MBappe transfer saga that they have ZERO class – especially their man-child president. They cannot handle rejection.
The bullying of MBappe when he informed them that he was going to leave is a serious matter that may have ended up in court ( Lucho saved the day by letting him play in the final season).
In a way they succeeded because MBappe is still damaged goods in terms of confidence.
What is really ironic is their assertion that money did not matter to them (RM’s 200M offer rejection in 2021) … then playing poor to recover each dollar when they realised that Madrid was not going to pay them a cent in 2024.
ah yeah, Mbappe is the classy one now… You seem to forget what he did to Real Madrid.
