Mbappe's decision to refuse negotiations over a new contract have not gone down well at the Parc des Princes; president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has gone on record to express his disappointment while a handful of the striker's teammates have lodged complaints following comments claiming that the French champions were a "divisive club". Former PSG sporting director Leonardo waded into the debate earlier this month and urged the French giants to put Mbappe up for sale as a result of his conduct. He told L'Equipe: 'For the good of PSG, I think the time has come for Mbappé to leave, whatever happens. Paris-Saint-Germain existed before Kylian Mbappé and will exist after him.' He added: 'Due to his behavior in the last two years, Mbappé has shown that he is still not a player capable of really leading a team. 'He is a great player, not a leader. He is a great goalscorer, not a playmaker. It is difficult to build a team around him.' Mirror Football is now on Threads!
