Kylian Mbappe: Could France striker terminate Paris Saint-Germain contract after latest revelations?

Kylian Mbappe wants to leave PSG, according to multiple reports on Tuesday.

“Do you really think that we hire people to troll our own players? That we troll Jean-Michel Aulas? It’s a bunch of complete nonsense. If an agency under the cover of the club was doing things, it’s up to them to answer – absolutely nothing to do with the club. We spent the last year renewing Mbappe with the biggest contract in world sport and involving president Macron, and you think that at the same time we were trolling him?”

Can Mbappe terminate his contract?

“In the context of an employment contract, the two parties have an obligation of loyalty to one another,” said Fellous. “One cannot intentionally harm the other. If the facts revealed by Mediapart are proven, serious misconduct has been committed if there is a clear intention to cause harm on the part of PSG against one of its employees. Legally, this could entitle Mbappe to terminate his contract.”

Does Mbappe really want to terminate his contract?

This seems hard to imagine as it would likely lead to a huge legal fight, which neither side wants.

“I don’t think that from a commercial and PR point of view, a court case would have the best option,” observes Fellous.
