PSG played an important Champions League game on Tuesday night against Benfica. A meeting that ended in a draw, a goal everywhere. “Kylian Mbappé is very important for PSG, he is probably the most paid player in the world for his talent, recognizes Bixente Lizarazu. In the meantime, he plays with other players and football remains a collective sport. For a team to be coherent on a collective level, everyone has to want to stick together, and in this type of operation, which is more individualistic, it’s complicated to have the spirit of crew”, points the 98 world champion on franceinfo.

Kylian Mbappé would like to leave the Parisian club because of the latest recruitment made by Qatari leaders. “In his statements, he says he’s playing in a pivotal role which causes him problems. But quite frankly, it’s still quite rare: after extending a contract just a few months ago, to say that ‘we want to leave. It’s not very coherent’, underlines Bixente Lizarazu, inviting Kylian Mbappé to speak quickly. “He has to give his explanations”he repeated.

The extension contract signed by Kylian Mbappé includes three additional years with the club, two of which are compulsory. According to Bixente Lizarazu, PSG will not let their star go: “He will oppose it. The club have already opposed his departure six months before the end of his previous contract. Unless there is a hidden closure, he is under contract”.
