Even though they no longer wear the same shirt, the uneasy relationship between Neymar and Mbappe is still a topic of great media interest at this time.

All players leaving PSG will be thanked by Kylian Mbappe on social networks, from Messi, Sergio Ramos and most recently Marco Verratti. However, those who are observant can realize that when Neymar moved to Al Hilal, he did not receive any words of gratitude from his junior even though they played together for 6 years in the PSG shirt and contributed to his career. Huge number of goals and assists for the French team.

Even according to the latest move, these two stars have unfollowed each other on Instagram. According to Marca, the time when both of these players “break up” most likely took place when Mbappe expressed gratitude to midfielder Marco Verratti who also moved to the Middle East to play not long ago.

 

In fact, the relationship between Neymar and Mbappe has never been smooth. These two players both have strong personalities and very high egos, so conflicts are hard to avoid. In this case, the PSG board of directors will naturally favor the French golden boy more because he is one of the most promising current and future stars.

For that reason, it is possible that Neymar’s deal to leave PSG to play at Al Hilal is related to Mbappe. In the terms of the 2022 contract extension, the French striker will have the right to decide whether the team can buy or sell a player or not. That is most likely the reason why the Parc de Princes team was forced to sell Neymar to please Mbappe not to leave the team.

 

I don’t know if it was by coincidence or by design, since “little Pele” left PSG, Mbappe has been on the move to return to Les Parisiens’ first team. But the obvious moves above have shown that Mbappe and Neymar do not like each other at all.
