April 07, (THEWILL) – Paris Saint-Germain star, Kylian Mbappe, has voiced his discontent over the use of his image in a promotional video advertising the sale of season tickets for the 2023/2024 season.
The video, released by the club on Wednesday, features footage of an interview with the French striker, which he claims he did not know would be used to market matches for the next season. In a social media post, Mbappe stated that he does not agree with the video, adding that he is “fighting for individual image rights”.
The latest disagreement with PSG comes at a difficult time for the club, which has recently faced consecutive defeats in Ligue 1 and a disappointing performance in the UEFA Champions League. Tensions are already high, with reports indicating that Mbappe’s representatives have had to clarify the situation in a call with the club.
It remains to be seen whether the 24-year-old will be included in the squad to face Nice on Saturday. This comes amid PSG President, Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s recent comments about the club’s transfer plans, stating that they will aim to keep both Mbappe and Lionel Messi.
However, sources suggest that the latter is unlikely to sign an extension in Paris. Mbappe’s stance on his individual image rights could further complicate matters for the club in the upcoming transfer window.
