Yesterday a report in France also suggested that Liverpool might join the race for the PSG forward and World Cup winner. All this talk of a summer move has PSG supporters and a former World Cup winner livid and tired.

Christophe Dugarry, member of the 1998 French World Cup winning side spoke out to RMC that he is sick and tired of all this Mbappé transfer talk.

Christophe Dugarry goes off on Kylian Mbappé transfer talks

Dugarry expressed his view by stating, “I have the impression that every six months it’s: he stays, he goes… That bothers me. I’m tired of this. I want Mbappé to embark on a club project and stop being in a more personal project.

“I’m tired of listening to chatter about his future club every six months. I’m fed up. I’m not interested, I’m not interested anymore.”

Christophe Dugarry played for various top clubs including Milan, Barcelona, Marseille, and made a career playing for Bordeaux among others.

Dugarry was able to win 3 titles with France in his 55 caps, FIFA World Cup: 1998, UEFA European Championship: 2000 and, FIFA Confederations Cup: 2001.

A holy grail offer that according to reports Mbappé will not accept as he and his team see the offer as a cheap way for PSG to stall his career amid a contract dispute between the two sides. Still, the offer, if accepted by Mbappé would make him in one second the highest paid athlete in history.

Not only would he be the highest paid athlete in the world, but Mbappé’s lone salary for 1 season would surpass the budget of some NBA, MLB, and NFL players and teams.

How does Kylian Mbappé’s salary offer stack up in American sports

According to the Score, Kylian Mbappé’s $776 million would be more than the following: The combined annual salaries of the 15 highest paid players in the NBA ($722M), worth more than the team payrolls of the New York Yankees and Mets ($630M).

Mbappé’s salary would be worth more than the combined prize earnings of Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, and Federer in Tennis ($496M). In regard to the NFL, Mbappé’s potential salary would be more than every running backs’ wages in the NFL, a total of $334 million.

The reality is, despite what has been reported by various outlets, Kylian Mbappé only signed a two-year extension with PSG and that come 2024 it was always a given he would leave the club to possibly sign with Real Madrid on a free transfer.

The issue many pundits have taken is that Kylian Mbappé would be leaving PSG after what will be a rebuild season and no UEFA Champions League to show for it. Still a report by French outlet Le Parisien forced the player to retweet the link and refute the reporting.

Kylian Mbappé calls out Le Parisien

Kylian Mbappé was not happy with the report that he was looking to leave PSG to join Real Madrid in the summer and retweeted, “LIES… At the same time, the bigger it is, the more it passes. I have already said that I will continue next season at PSG where I am very happy.”

What happens after this season will be soap opera material come January where the French World Cup winner could sign a pre-contract. PSG has already lost Lionel Messi, and it looks like Neymar is leaving as well, leaving the club with only one major star.

The usual suspects are present such as Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr, Manchester City goal machine Erling Haaland, Barcelona’s Pedri, and PSG’s Kylian Mbappé.

Here is the top 10 order of the CIES most valuable football players in the world for this season.

CIES top 10 most valuable footballers

1 Haaland (M. City) – €200M
2 Vinicius JR (R. Madrid) – €200M
3 Bellingham (Dortmund) – €150M
4 Pedri (Barcelona) – €150M
5 Musiala (B. Múnich) – €150M
6 Mbappé (PSG) – €150M
7 Martinelli (Arsenal) – €100M
8 Gvardiol (Leipzig) – €100M
9 Darwin Núñez (Liverpool) – €80M
10. Enzo Fernández (Chelsea) – €80M

While names 1-6 make the most sense, other players also raise a few eyebrows, Gabriel Martinelli of Arsenal has proven his worth for the Brazilian national team and the Gunners. The winger is having a career season with Arsenal with 15 goals in 45 games this season.

Defender Joško Gvardiol is considered by many to be the best young defender in the world at the moment and has a market value of 100 million euros. Uruguayan Darwin Núñez has had a decent start to his Liverpool career and has shown promising signs of being a Premier League caliber goal scorer after a rough start.

Argentina’s Enzo Fernández was bought by Chelsea for an astronomical price and at €80 million it is a more acceptable value for the Argentine defensive midfielder.

The Argentine star has constantly faced strong criticism from the French media and the PSG fans, who have whistled him more than once since he arrived in Paris. Following his team’s latest loss, the boos and the harsh reviews by the press came back.

On Sunday, Christophe Galtier’s side suffered a shocking home defeat to Lorient that let Olympique Marseille reduce the gap with the leaders to five points. Messi didn’t look like his true self and the media was harsh on him. Mbappe, on the other hand, was defended.

Lionel Messi’s performance given a 3 by the French press

Le Parisien gave Messi a 3 in their player ratings and claimed that this wasn’t the first time he seems lost in a game:“It was one of those games in which the Argentine completely loses his way. He made some bad decisions, he wasn’t very accurate in his initiatives and had a visible physical deficit against the Lorient players, who gagged him well.”

Meanwhile, the Parisian outlet qualified Mbappe with a 5.5 and didn’t blame him for the result: “Once again, the French was the only player who tried something and dinamized his team’s game. A smart goal that let him extend his advantage in the goal scoring table (23). He must feel very lonely.”

This is not the first time the French press blasts Messi while praising their national hero. But all feelings aside, Mbappe does deserve to be excluded from the critics because of his performances.

PSG will return to action on Sunday, when they take on Troyes on the road. Galtier’s team has five games left in the league, and with a five-point lead in the table, it would be a complete disaster if it fails to win the title.

Achraf Hakimi saw a red card in minute 20′ and,after that, PSGjust couldn’tregroup. Lorient took advantage of that situation and sealed a major win. Enzo Le Fee, Darlin Yongwa and Bamba Dieng scored for the visitors at Parc des Princes.

As a consequence, in such a disappointing season which included an early elimination from the Champions League, PSG fans showed their frustration. Read here to check out the details of what happened.

PSG fans boo Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe

After the 3-1 loss against Lorient, PSG just complicated themselves, once again, the race for the title in Ligue 1. Paris Saint-Germain have a comfortable advantage over Marseille and Lens, but should have secured the title weeks ago. They just keep leaving the door open for their rivals.

As a consequence, immediately after the end of the game against Lorient, thousands of fans at Parc des Princes booed loudly all their players. It included superstars such as Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi. Though they’ll become the winningest team in France over Saint Etienne, the Champions League’s performances and their style of play is well below the expectations forthat kind of roster.

The good news for PSG is that they have an easy calendar ahead to finally secure the championship in Ligue 1: Troyes, Ajaccio, Auxerre, Strasbourg and Clermont. They shouldn’t have problems to hoist the trophy.

Right now, PSG have a comfortable advantage to hoist the trophyinLigue 1 and they will become the winningest club in France surpassing Saint Etienne. However, at least in the most important competition in Europe, Paris Saint-Germain failed again with an early exit against Bayern Munich.

Now, PSG are trying to put once again all the pieces together to make a run at the Champions League. However, that might not happen with a famous player in the club. Read here to check out the details.

Kylian Mbappe and Sergio Ramos would ‘block’ the return of a PSG player

According to a report from L’Equipe, Leandro Paredes would not be welcomed back at PSG by names such as Kylian Mbappe and Sergio Ramos. Paredes is on loan with Juventus, but the Italian club probably won’t exercise the clause to buy him.

The controversy around Leandro Paredes would have started during the group stage of the 2022-2023 Champions League when Juventus faced PSG. Paredes had sort of a brawl with Ramos and that didn’t suit well in PSG’s locker room.

So, with Lionel Messi nearto an exit from the French club, another player from Argentina might have the doors closed at PSG. The front office has the final decision, but, right now, Paredes could end up a new club after the summer.

During the last months, Messi has been in a tough fight to claim the title as best player in the worldconsidering names such as Kylian Mbappe and Karim Benzema have been spectacular too.

Now, after winning The Best FIFA 2022 award by FIFA, Lionel Messi just got another massive distinction in soccer.Read here to check out the details of all the trophies he just earned.

Lionel Messi is named World’s Best Player

Lionel Messi went to his official Instagram account to confirm theInternational Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) recognized him with three awards after his performances in 2022.

“It was an honor to receive fromtheInternational Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) these three awards of 2022: IFHHS World’s Best Player, IFFHS World’s Best Playmaker and IFFHS World’s Best International Goal Scorer. Thanks!!!”

Messi received the awards during a brief ceremony in Paris and posted a picture of him smiling with his three recent trophies. Since 2011, the star from Argentina has won 13 IFFHS WorldAwards, arecord in the history of the International Federation.

The feat would be tremendous as PSG would surpass Saint Etienne as the winningest clubin France. However, considering another recent failure at the Champions League, the celebrations could be bittersweet in Paris. A roster built to dominate in Europe hasn’t been able to deliver.

Furthermore, Lionel Messi seems to be closer for a return to Barcelona as his contract with PSG expires next summer. Nevertheless, an Instagram post might provide a bit of hope for thousands of fans wishing an extension at Paris Saint-Germain.

Lionel Messi’s special message with Kylian Mbappe

During the 2-1 victory over Angers, Kylian Mbappe scored twice for PSG and Lionel Messi was involved in both plays. The second goal was a magnificent combination between them and even Mbappe admitted the quality of Messi’s assist by running to congratulatehim.

Amid the controversy about his future, Lionel Messi published a very interesting Instagram post just a few hours after the win at Raymond Kopa Stadium. It had no words, but it did include a picture of him celebrating with Kylian Mbappe. Messi is very selective on social media and, in recent weeks, he constantly includes Mbappe. Even PSG used it on Twitter.

This amazing tandem is what PSG fans expected to see not only in Ligue 1, but also at the Champions League. The problem is if Messi will stay. Of course, the recent image gave some hope.

If this is a hint about his future, only time will tell. The truth is that, in the last several matches, the duo of Messi and Mbappe have dominated in France. That’s why PSG will make a last-minute effort to retain the star from Argentina.

However, it hasn’t all been flowers during his time in the French city. He recently responded to Paris Saint-Germain‘s push to renew season tickets for the 2023-24 season by posting a message on his social media accounts.

It was an open complaint from the prolific striker, who felt the club was focusing too much on him. “I don’t agree with this published video… PSG is a big club and a big family but it is especially not Kylian Saint-Germain”, he took toInstagram to write.

What didKylian Mbappe’s mother say of the player’s recent criticism of PSG?

Kylian Mbappe’s mother, Fayza Lamari, has now, a little more than a week later, elaborated on her son’s feelings and motivations at the moment. The PSG superstarreportedly talked to his parent before posting his remarks, and she disapproved of how he handled the situation.

“He was angry. He called me, as he usually does. When he decides to do something on social media, he still takes the time to call two or three people. I understood his distress and, at the same time, I told him: ‘Now is not the time to react. Let it go and there will always be time to restore the truth’.

“To which he replied: ‘No, no, I don’t want to wait. I know the consequences and I will accept them’. He said it in the heat of the moment, with his heart. He simply responded like a child who was born with social media, everyone has their own communication,” she saidon the programme Public Senat.

The play between Messi and Mbappe for the third goal of Paris Saint-Germainagainst Lens was just a masterpiece and left thousands of fans wondering if this could still be the future for the French club even after so many failures.

Now, when Lionel Messi is in the middle of a huge controversy with PSG fans as his contract is about to expire, Kylian Mbappe sent some hope. Read here to check out the details of a very special message.

Kylian Mbappe sends intriguing message with Lionel Messi

In a very unusual gesture considering the situation, Kylian Mbappe decided to repost a publication from PSG’s official account as an Instagram story. The image shows Mbappe and Lionel Messi celebrating after a goal in the game against Lens.

PSG titled the image with the names of Mbappe and Messi united by a handshake emoticon. It’s important to remember that, in the last few days, the presence of the star from Argentina has been severely reduced in the club’s interactions on social media.

Immediately after the match, and almost a championship victory, Kylian Mbappe put the post as an Instagram story of his own. If Mbappe’s message is a sign of things to come, only time will tell.
