The harsh message Ibrahimovic sent to Mbappe, who thinks he’s the best

AC Milan's Zlatan Ibrahimovic has questioned Kylian Mbappe's decision to stay at Paris Saint-Germain and warned him, "You are never bigger than the club." This message is ironic coming from a man known to refer to himself as God. Mbappe snubbed a move to Real Madrid to sign a three-year extension with the French champions in May and became the highest-paid player in world football.

Mbappe will earn $128 million for the 2022-23 season, but former PSG star Ibrahimovic has hit out at the forward's decision to stay. “Mbappe, as a person I do not know him very well. As a player, he is fantastic. But when you lose discipline, you lose your identity,” cautioned Ibrahimovic. If the youngster wants to emulate the greatness of French legends such as Zidane, he will have to stay driven.

According to Ibrahimovic, the secret is never to be satisfied. "He made the right choice for Paris not for himself. Because he put himself in a situation where he is more important than the club. And the club gave him the keys for that. But you are never bigger than a club. But when a child becomes strong, he can easily earn money," said the Swede in a confusing diatribe.

The 23-year-old recently rejected reports that he wanted to leave PSG in January, having claimed his relationship with the club had broken down. Ibrahimovic, who spent four years at the club and won 12 trophies, blamed Mbappe's advisers for turning his potential transfer into a saga over the summer. "So his parents become lawyers, agents, coaches. From one thing they become another," he added.

Whom is Ibra castigating? 

"And that's the problem. That's when you lose your self-discipline and who you are. Today with this new generation, the parents, dad, mom, who you want, they think they have become stars. They talk in the newspapers. But who do you think you are? Shut up. It is up to your son, the player, to work and have discipline," concluded Ibrahimovic.
