After Neymar Jr’s $218 Million Saudi Move, Kylian Mbappe Branded ‘the Great Satan’ For Quickly Rejoining PSG Camp

The drama surrounding Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Jr’s future has finally come to a conclusion. While the Brazilian will be making his move to Al-Hilal in a big money deal. PSG’s poster boy Kylian Mbappe has been added to the squad following his short-lived exile.

There had been numerous reports around PSG willing to cash in on Mbappe and not allow him to play if he did not sign a new deal. However, it is a surprising turn of events the player has returned to the squad in light of Neymar’s transfer. French commentator Pierre Ménès has questioned the process and thinks Mbappe was behind the ordeal from the start.

French commentator slams Kylian Mbappe’s immediate return following Neymar’s move

The whole ordeal has been going around for weeks. Kylian Mbappe is yet to renew his contract with PSG. Neymar Jr wants a way out of PSG. While there have been multiple reports circling the media, it seems like PSG’s performance in their opening game has forced them to think about their stance.

French commentator Pierre Ménès has questioned the link between Neymar’s exit and Mbappe’s return, calling that the Frenchman could be responsible for all things, acting behind the scenes to influence things to his liking.

“I can’t believe it, because of the relationship between the two players on the pitch – after all, if they don’t have the same life off it, who cares? It was magical, and Neymar made Mbappe score a lot of goals, and Mbappe is too intelligent to ignore that.”

“I find it hard to believe and I’d put it down to a kind of collective hallucination and also a more general attempt to destabilize Mbappé on the theme of ‘he’s the great Satan, the great manipulator’. Don’t kid yourself! A PSG without Neymar, why not, but who’s going to give the ball to the strikers? That’s the real question.”

Based on numerous reports, PSG manager Luis Enrique wanted to get a quick change in his squad, and getting Neymar offloaded was one of his priorities.
