The reason why Kylian Mbappé asked for more French players at PSG

Paris Saint-Germain’s French star Kylian Mbappé imposed conditions to stay in the Parisian team and not accept the offer of Spanish club Real Madrid. He was to give the team a more "French" identity, with fewer foreigners, and hire a French coach.

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