PSG have stepped up their feud with Kylian Mbappe after removing a poster featuring the star and refusing to sell his shirt in the club shop, according to reports.
The 24-year-old striker is in a stand-off with the French champions over his failure to sign a contract extension at the club.
Mbappe’s deal expires at the end of the forthcoming campaign and officials who believe he has agreed a deal with Real Madrid starting in 2024, are keen to pick up a transfer fee for their £250million asset before he can walk out for nothing
In response to Mbappe’s refusal to sign a new deal, the French forward was sentenced to train with PSG’s ‘B team’ on Monday, Mail Sport revealed.
And now, it’s been shown that PSG have further stepped up their efforts to disrupt the star by stopping selling his shirts and taking down his poster.
A video appeared on Twitter, via GFFN, which showed that Mbappe’s shirt was nowhere to be found within the club’s superstore in Paris.
Even the shirts of Neymar who recently expressed his desire to leave and Lionel Messi who left to join Inter Miami last month are still on sale in the shop.
Footage then also showed construction workers taking down a large poster that featured on the side of the Parc Des Princes – which Mbappe was a part of.
The clip showcased construction staff working tirelessly to remove the large picture of the World Cup winner.
Despite a lack of Mbappe shirts in the shop, there remains a picture of the former Monaco forward plastered on the inside of the club shop walls.
Tensions began rising after Mbappe branded PSG as a ‘divisive’ club during an interview and stated that his performances are unjustly criticised because it is much harder to impress while playing in France.
