Mbappe hits out at PSG after featuring prominently in clip promoting tickets

Kylian Mbappe has posted a statement in exception to a video released by Paris Saint Germain promoting their season tickets for next term.

The France skipper slammed the new clip, arguing that he is made too prominent and admitted that he was not informed of the content and that he disagrees with the video.

Mbappe is one of the club's most important players, and combined with his prevalence in the French set-up, he is perhaps among the most marketable figures in the game currently.

With fellow stars Lionel Messi and Neymar seemingly on their way out of PSG, the club appears to have pinned their season ticket sales for next year on the idea that fans come to the ground to see Mbappe play.

However, in a statement published on his Instagram account, the 24-year-old clearly objects to having his image used in such a way.

'I have just taken part in the viewing of the club's renewal campaign for the 23/24 season,' he wrote on his Instagram.

'At no time was I informed of the content of the interview with my interlocutor. It looked like a basic interview at a club marketing day. I disagree with this posted video.

'That's why I fight for individual image rights. PSG is a big club and a big family, but it is certainly not Kylian Saint Germain.'

The 75-second clip sees Mbappe featured heavily, either with his words, face, or highlights of his time at the club so far.

An intimate interview with Mbappe opens the clip, the words from which continue throughout the video as viewers are shown shots of fans, youngsters and ground-staff at the Parc des Princes.

He became Les Parisiens' all-time top scorer earlier in the 2022-23 campaign, and has extended his record in the French capital to 202 in just 251 games.

The 24-year-old was rewarded for his efforts at the club last May, despite seemingly being set to join Spanish giants Real Madrid.

He was handed a mega deal at PSG taking his wages to a reported £4million-a-month, extending his stay until 2025, but reports suggest he is once again unhappy at the club.

As a result, officials at the Parc des Princes will be keen to allay any concerns the player has over their most recent promotional video.

One of the key issues that he currently has is a reported dislike for playing as a lone striker through the middle.

However, with only Hugo Ekitike likely to start ahead of Neymar, Messi and Mbappe - and even then with all three stars fit it is unlikely either would be dropped - he remains Christophe Galtier's regular choice up top.
