The PSG star's demands for his contract renewal are revealed.

French star Kylian Mbappé demanded a more "French" PSG in order not to leave for Real Madrid, saying that in the locker room they hear "too much Spanish", which had an impact on the continuity of several Argentinean players at the club.

Although Lionel Messi is "untouchable" and in fact his continuity will be discussed in coming months, Angel Di María had to leave for Juventus, Mauro Icardi was left out of the squad, and Leandro Paredes will also leave, which seems to be directly related to Mbappé's request.

According to UOL Sports Mbappé's contract renewal, which made him the highest paid player in the world, as well as giving him powers and active voice in PSG's decisions, was finalized after the entity made some of the striker's requests come true.

Among them, the hiring of a French coach instead of the Argentinean Mauricio Pochettino, an order that was complied with by the Qatari owners, who fired the former Tottenham coach and hired the French coach Christophe Galtier.

Mbappé’s demands are being met

To give the team more of a French identity and meet the demands that left Mbappé in Paris, PSG brought in Hugo Ekitiké and Nordi Mukiele, both Frenchmen. PSG’s coach has also stated that Mbappé is the designated penalty taker for the team.
