Tension continues to grow within PSG’s directors over Mbappé's “undesirables”
Kylian Mbappé asked for the departure of several players, to give PSG a more “French” identity.
PSG have been close to perfection in sporting terms at the start of the season. The Parisian side has beaten its rivals in the first four games of the season, creating a sense of happiness within the team that had not been felt for years. However, at Camp des Loges, the training ground where the first team trains, the tension has increased considerably over the last few days.
The reason lies in the failure of Antero Henrique to close several departures with only eight days to go before the end of the market. While Luis Campos is in charge of reaching agreements with the clubs, Henrique deals with the economic terms, both incoming and outgoing. According to Le Parisien, the club's new sporting advisor has reproached Henrique for his lack of efficiency in the exit operation, which, for the moment, prevents any further signings. Paredes to Juventus, Ander Herrera to Athletic Bilbao, Idrissa Gueye to Everton and Keylor Navas to Napoli are some of the departures that Henrique has not been able to finalize.

A key figure in the Kylian Mbappé deal, which allowed him, thanks to his good relationship with Al Khelaïfi, to return to work for PSG, Henrique has only been able to finalize the sale of Kehrer to West Ham. This evidences the difficulties in accelerating the exit of the 'undesirables', as Mbappé would have asked for the departure of several South American —mostly Argentinean— players.
According to Le Parisien, Antero Henrique promised them to finalize their departures before the end of the market and the reality is that they have not yet materialized. The “outcasts” are becoming increasingly impatient and tension has risen at Camp des Loges.
Galtier needs more signings
The Parisians' coach, Christophe Galtier, sent him a message at the last press conference, reiterating once again that he needed three more signings to close the squad. The ghosts of the past with Leonardo, Tuchel and Henrique, which destabilized PSG, have returned to a team where there are no calm days.
