Image rights continue to divide but could find a way out soon. Noël Le Graët, president of the French Football Federation (FFF), announced on Wednesday May 25 that he wanted to bring together all the players of the French team in the near future to clarify the exploitation of the image rights of the Blues and “settle quietly” the conflict opened by Kylian Mbappé.
Since March 21, Kylian Mbappé has been asking for a right to look at the issue of advertising and marketing for the French selection. HASmissing from the day dedicated to the sponsors of the France team on March 21, the striker had been more engaging Monday, May 24, during the press conference devoted to his extension to PSG, evoking a “little misunderstanding” with the Federation and promising to “settle all this quickly with intelligence and respect”.
“There will be a global meeting with all the players, and the lawyer (by Mbappé, Delphine Verheyden). I will receive her when she wants”launched Noël Le Graët at the microphone of France Inter, Wednesday. “I gather (the players) every time, before every game. If there is a problem, it is exposed, with captain Hugo Lloris. Mbappé, I haven’t seen him much because he has a lawyer we’ve never met. She was supposed to come to the Federation, she canceled two or three times”, added the leader in the show “La Bande Originale”, hosted by Nagui.
Faced with Mbappé’s decision at the end of March, Le Graët reacted by threatening the player to no longer receive income related to the image rights of the Blues. On Wednesday, the president opened the door to a compromise while the Mbappé camp has been asking for four years to discuss the convention again.
