Former PSG attacked Leonardo for failing to renew Mbappé: “He says what he wants to tell, he takes us for idiots”

PSG is just days away from losing Kylian Mbappé. From the first day of next year, the forward can reach a prior agreement with another institution to leave in mid-2022, when the contract with the French ends. However, ‘Les Parisiens’, through sporting director Leonardo, still hope to convince the scorer to renew the current deal.

“I think there are still good opportunities to renew Mbappé. It is a complicated situation because you would like him to stay his whole life and we have to respect his position “, said the representative of ‘Les Bleus’ in a dialogue with the media Le JDD and Europe 1. The words of the Brazilian manager have been echoed and generated annoyance in some sectors.

Such is the case of Jerome Rothen, who wore the Paris Saint Germain jersey, who was angered by Leonardo’s expressions. “He says what he wants to tell, he takes us for idiots. If there is anyone who is in the wrong position to talk about Kylian Mbappé, it is him”, he expressed during the broadcast of the driving space on RMC Sport.

“He is the one who has been having tense relations with Mbappé and with his entire clan for more than a year. For a player you want to renew, it is something that leaves a lot to be desired “added Rothen, who served as a midfielder and won two trophies with PSG: French Cup (2006) and League Cup (2008).

Along the same lines, the former French international questioned the transparency with which Leonardo handles the position. “More than selling us dreams and trying to restore your image, tell us about the things that annoy and be a little honest with people. Today you are unmasking”, he maintained on the gala radio.

In closing, Rothen recalled ‘Kiki’ revelations about what she wishes for her career in the years to come. Then, from this, the ex-footballer believes that the future of the world champion is far from the Park of the Princes. “Last week’s interview with Kylian Mbappé in Paris Match, where he announces that he wants to travel, discover other things, other countries … everything is against a renewal. What does Leonardo say?”, he concluded.
