What Thierry Henry says about Mbappe's decision to stay at PSG

Kylian Mbappe and PSG are not having the best of starts this season. The French forward comes from a complicated summer where his continuity was certainly not clear. The French player was close to leaving the club, but in reality he ended up deciding to fulfill his contract, although without accepting its renewal until 2025. A situation that the club did not like at all and that is why they decided to separate him from the team in the first dates.

According to L'Equipe, talks between Mbappe and PSG have resumed and therefore, the player was reinstated to the first team. However, the player's renewal has still not come and if it does not materialize, Mbappe could leave Paris in 2024. Now, one of the great French football legends already has his opinion on Mbappe and his decision to continue at PSG for one more season. This is Thierry Henry, one of Kylian's great references and a historic French scorer.

“Should Mbappé leave PSG? I'll be honest, I thought he was going to leave, I think everyone thought he was going to leave. He respected what he said. He's still there. There is one thing that always caught my attention about him, it is that he always wants to play. He comes back, plays, trains. He comes to play in the French Cup after the World Cup. He has never disrespected anyone in that sense. He is passionate. Like everyone, he sometimes may not be good, but he is always there. He is always fighting, always trying, always trying to do his best for his team with his qualities,” said Henry.

What else did Henry say?

“There are always some things to perfect like all players. He is an extraordinary, incomparable player. From time to time I find that we are looking for the little beast in him. Even when there's nothing to say. He extended it for two years when he was supposed to leave. What do you want? What did he do wrong? He didn't do anything wrong. Do you have the right to respect his contract? Yes. When a club wants to make you leave and you want to respect your contract, you leave. They do everything to make you leave. For me, he has never disrespected PSG or his teammates”; commented the now CBS Sports and Sky analyst.
