A PSG season ticket campaign for 2023/24, which features footage almost exclusively of Kylian Mbappe, has been publicly denounced by the man himself on social media.
After crashing out of the Champions League in the round of 16 to Bayern Munich, coupled with a string of stuttering performances in Ligue 1 that leaves them just six points above Lens, PSG have once again been put under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Rumblings of a potential exit for Lionel Messi refuse to subside, while Neymar’s future in the French capital is also unclear as he nears a crossroads in his career after turning 31 in February.
Just this afternoon, it would seem the club have done little to please their prized asset Kylian Mbappe, who has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid, and even performed a sensational u-turn on a £150m deal last summer to remain put in Paris.
The club released a promotional season ticket video ready for the next campaign, which as you can see below, features almost entirely of Kylian Mbappe and just flashes of the club’s other star-studded squad members. Perhaps more pertinently, both Lionel Messi and Neymar are absent from the video.
The video is completely centered on Mbappé, not Messi or Neymar.
Mbappé states that he was not informed they were going to use this video, which came in a basic interview, and that he doesn’t agree with it either.

Antagonising world football’s most expensive player is certainly not something you want to be doing, particularly in the state PSG find themselves in.
He has since taken to social media to express his dismay at the published video, saying this is a prime example of why “I fight for image rights so much.”
He also said: “I was never informed of that — I don’t agree with that video published
“PSG is a top club and family — but it’s NOT Kylian Saint-Germain”.

SportsLens recently reported that Mbappe is yet to enact the extended option on his contract, which was bumped up to three years after refusing a move to Real Madrid at the final hour last year. Should he fail to take up this option within the next four months, he would enter the final year of his deal by the beginning of next season, leaving Paris with a dilemma – to cash in, or squeeze every last ounce of his talents before he moves on.
