Reportedly Forced Neymar to Ditch $4,210,000,000 Ex-Employers, Kylian Mbappe Indulges in Awkward Hug With Al Hilal-Bound Brazilian

Yesterday, Neymar made strides in the soccer world after making his big-money move to Al Hilal. Before leaving for the new country, the player came to bid farewell to all his counterparts at Paris Saint-Germain. But while hugging all his teammates and coaching staff, the Brazilian soccer icon had an awkward encounter with Kylian Mbappe.

The trio of the MNM came to an end with La Pulga leaving for MLS and Neymar going to the Saudi Pro League, leaving Mbappe at Parc Des Princes. The Frenchman could have also left, but PSG seemingly refuted his sale this summer to Real Madrid.

After signing a $175 million per year contract, Neymar quickly flew back to France and said his proper goodbyes to PSG. The Brazilian clicked the final few pictures with the whole squad and received a traditional back-pat. He individually met each player, coach, and staff member as they wished him luck in his future endeavors.

His farewell video was uploaded by PSG on Instagram. Subsequently, in the clip, a peculiar moment was caught between Neymar and Mbappe. Interestingly, the 31-year-old shook hands with the 24-year-old and both hugged each other awkwardly. It wasn’t the usual heartwarming hug that one gives while saying goodbye.

Certainly, it could reignite the rift rumors that have surfaced quite a few times. Despite putting such rumors to bed, there was constant doubt in both of their friendships. Be that as it may, their goodbyes to each other make things even more obvious. Aside from the rift rumors, it was reported that it was Mbappe who drove out Neymar from the $4.21 billion club.

Did Mbappe pave the way for Neymar’s exit?

Recently, an Instagram post was shared by a fan page that stated the main reason for their rift. It read that Mbappe reportedly didn’t like Neymar’s presence in the team. In fact, last summer, the Frenchman reportedly told the club that he could not be on the same team as the Brazilian. Subsequently, when the 24-year-old forward heard about Neymar’s Al Hilal transfer, he came to training with a smile.

This specific post caught the eye of Neymar, who shockingly liked it. Indeed, this adds fuel to their rumored strained relationship even more. With both Messi and Neymar out of the club, Mbappe will have enough chances to rule the front line. Particularly, he won’t be in anyone’s shadow.
