Transfer: PSG Ready To Sell Marquinhos Over Mbappe Comments

Paris Saint-Germain are ready to sell captain Marquinhos over his comments regarding Kylian Mbappe’s situation angered club chiefs.

 

Mbappe has made it clear he won’t sign a contract extension at the Parc des Princes, while the club are adamant he will not walk away on a free transfer in 2024.

 

The impasse has led the striker to be banished from the first team and the Ligue 1 champions have even excluded Mbappe from their pre-season tour squad.

Amid the chaos, Marquinhos, in a press conference shared his views on the ongoing issue where he said that he wants to continue playing with Mbappe.

 

The comments have not gone down well with the PSG higher-ups.

 

According to Sports Zone, the club is now willing to put the defender up for sale as his comments have been deemed unsupportive of the club, given the current circumstances.

 

The club internally criticised Marquinhos for his lack of leadership during the Champions League capitulation against Real Madrid in the 2021-22 season at the Santiago Bernabeu, which saw the Parisians throw away a two-goal lead.

The club also believe that the defender has not been able to realise his full potential since the departure of Thomas Tuchel in December 2020 and want fresh blood to replace the 29-year-old.
