Leonardo talks a lot about Mbappé. Sometimes too much. And that proves the nervousness that exists in PSG. The renewal of the player is entrenched. It hasn’t progressed for weeks. Except for surprise, his future points to Madrid. The club’s sports manager, however, never tires of repeating that all is not lost. That there is still some possibility that it continues: “He takes us for idiots,” said Jerome Rothen, analyst at RMC Sport.
Leonardo has not managed his deal with Mbappé in the best way. There have been discrepancies between one and the other and in the summer it was said that they stopped talking. Now he wants to redirect the situation in a hasty way. It may be too late: “If there is someone who is in a bad situation to negotiate with Kylian, it is him. For more than a year he had a strained relationship with both the player and his clan. And that leaves much to be desired, ”added Rothen.
The former PSG member, very popular in France for the radio program he presents, has also taken the opportunity to denounce that Leonardo is now trying to protect his image after all: “Tell us about the things that really matter and be a bit sincere with the people instead of selling us dreams. You lack sincerity about Mbappé ”, he has pointed out in his space in the media. Another that pokes Leonardo. And the sports manager has already lost count of so many criticisms.
