The Parc des Princes team has accepted Mbappe’s opinion and will change the promotion campaign for the ticket for the 2023/24 season.
On the evening of April 6, PSG posted a video of selling tickets for the whole 2023/24 season with the image of Kylian Mbappe alone. Kylian Mbappe is the main character in the video without the appearance of Lionel Messi and Neymar.
PSG’s original ad campaign didn’t feature Messi and Neymar
The striker born in 1998 reacted both to protect his personal image and to ask the PSG media team to use more images of other PSG players.
Immediately after Kylian Mbappe’s complaint, the Ligue 1 champions removed the promotional video from all social media platforms.
PSG must remove the promotional video for the 2023-2024 season ticket sales
Mbappe wrote on his personal page: “I have seen a video calling for fans with full season tickets to renew for the 2023/24 season. I was not informed about the content of the interview. I disagree with the published video. That’s why I fιght for my personal image rights.”
“PSG is a big club and a big family but not Kylian Saint-Germain (indicating that PSG is not Mbappe’s own team)”, the new France captain emphasized.
Mbappe has the privilege of managing his own image instead of the host club
According to L’Equipe, PSG will conduct a revolution after the 2023/24 season. Many stars, even Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos, are also at rιsk of leaving. Director Luis Campos and the leadership of “Le Parisien” want to build a completely new team around Mbappe.
The contract of the 2018 World Cup champion with PSG is valid until the summer of 2025. Real Madrid still has an interest in Mbappe but will not resume negotiations with PSG. Instead, “Los Blancos” will wait for the French player to arrive at the Bernabeu on a free basis.
On the side of PSG, this club is trying to keep Mbappe. L’Equipe said the Paris capital team is paying a bonus of up to 60 million euros a year for Mbappe. In addition, the former Monaco player’s monthly salary is up to 6 million euros.
Mbappe is receiving many privileges at PSG
Mbappe is especially interested in protecting his personal image. Last year, he disputed his personal image rights with the French Football Federation (FFF), when he opposed commercial deals in which he had no say at the national team level.
The move to post the above video by PSG shows that the team wants to keep Mbappe, and is ready for the possibility of Messi or Neymar leaving the team. However, Mbappe’s public opposition to PSG made the French media not rule out the possibility that the World Cup’s top scorer in 2022 wanted to leave right in the summer.
PSG upset Mbappe while the future is unclear
Mbappe’s contract with PSG will expire in the summer of 2025. Real wants to own Mbappe, but has not resumed negotiations with PSG. The Spanish Royal team showed signs of waiting for Mbappe to move in as a free player, when his contract with PSG expired.
