At the end of 2022, Kylian Mbappé had put pressure on the French Football Federation regarding his image rights. This Thursday, April 6, it's Paris Saint-Germain's turn to come under fire from the world champion. On his Instagram account, he disagreed with the use of his image for the club's renewal campaign.
"At no time was I informed of the content of the interview with my interlocutor," wrote the Parisian star, after seeing the promotional campaign where he is featured. "It looked like a basic interview at a club marketing day. I disagree with this posted video. That's why I fight for individual image rights. PSG is a big club and a big family, but it is certainly not Kylian Saint-Germain. »
Mbappé is the only one to speak in the promotional film for the renewal campaign for the 2023-2024 season. Neither Lionel Messi, who could leave the club this summer, nor Neymar, injured, appear. Unlike youngsters Warren Zaire-Emery, Ismaël Gharbi and Ilyes Housni, as well as Portuguese international Nuno Mendes, and the stadium gardeners.
The 24-year-old striker is filmed in the stands of the Parc des Princes and talks about the supporters. "The 12th man is what gives us extra strength to fight our battles," he says. “Being Parisian means being proud of what you are, of what you represent […] and never forgetting where you come from. »
A few hours after Kylian Mbappé's message, PSG deleted the video.
