KYLIAN MBAPPE feels “betrayed” by Paris Saint-Germain after the French champions failed to land his summer targets, according to reports.The forward put an end to months of speculation last May by finally penning what at the time was thought to be a three-year contract extension at PSG.

L’Equipe have revealed all about Mbappe’s unhappiness
It has now emerged that the £650,000-a-week contract was a two-year deal – with Mbappe possessing the option to extend it for a third.
The prospect of him doing so feels remote, however, with the 23-year-old reportedly already seeking a move, sensationally demanding that PSG sell him in January after a breakdown in their relationship.
French paper L’Equipe claim that Mbappe wanted his team to sign Robert Lewandowski, Bernardo Silva and Milan Skriniar during the summer.
PSG ditched former transfer chief Leonardo and appointed Luis Campos in a bid to keep Mbappe happy.

And Campos did seal seven signings – recruiting Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Hugo Ekitike, Nordi Mukiele, Renato Sanches, Fabian Ruiz and Carlos Soler.
But these stars do not appear to have appeased Mbappe.
The 2018 World Cup winner is also claimed to have wanted to see the back of Neymar – with the two having reportedly clashed.
Mbappe would like the Brazilian’s spot on the wing, although Neymar has begun the season in sparking form.

The former Barcelona star has 11 goals and nine assists in 15 appearances in all competitions to date.
Mbappe is also said to be unhappy with how he has been deployed by boss Christophe Galtier.
After PSG’s 0-0 draw with Reims last week, he wrote on Instagram: “Match drawn, back on Tuesday. #icicestparis #pivotgang.”
Mbappe’s use of #pivotgang caused a stir – suggesting he is unhappy at leading the line on his own, and would rather play alongside another striker.
PSG have slapped a £300million asking price on Mbappe – but will NOT sanction a move to Real Madrid.
Mbappe has never told me about his intention to leave in JanuaryLuis Campos
Liverpool are another team that he has considered in the past, although Jurgen Klopp previously admitted that the Reds cannot afford to sign him.
Mbappe was in action last night just hours after news of his desire to leave broke – finding the net from the penalty spot as PSG drew 1-1 with Benfica in the Champions League.
Asked about the chaos surrounding the club by Canal Plus, Campos said: “Mbappe has never told me about his intention to leave in January. We speak with him, Messi, Ney… we’re very happy to be here.
I spoke a lot with Kylian at the start of the season and I was very attentive to his commentsChristophe Galtier
“We have to be very clear that this isn’t a declaration – it is news that has come out a few hours before a very important match against Benfica.”
Galtier, meanwhile, played down Mbappe’s complaints – adding: “I spoke a lot with Kylian at the start of the season and I was very attentive to his comments when he was playing for France, saying that he felt better in Les Bleus’ attacking set-up.
“Across pre-season we spoke with Luis Campos and the president [Nasser Al-Khelaifi] to get a fourth striker, with a different profile, who would allow for two strikers and for Kylian to play as much as possible in his preferred area.

“Kylian sometimes finds himself in the middle and he gets the impression that he’s a pivot. But he’s a smart player who’s capable of adapting.”
Lionel Messi missed last night’s game, but cameras captured his stony-faced reaction to Mbappe’s penalty in the stands.

KYLIAN MBAPPE remains the talk of the town in Paris and it could see Neymar drop out of the Paris Saint-Germain starting XI. New boss Christophe Galtier overhauled the team’s structure and seemed to have finally unearthed the recipe to unlocking the Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi front three.

However, despite their form playing together, Mbappe believes three really is a crowd and just two of their trio can truly flourish together.
And of the three, he believes the dynamic duo should be himself and Messi – even though the Argentine is expected to quit the club next summer.
Relations between Mbappe’s camp and PSG are said to be at “a breaking point” due to “war inside” the club – stemming from the Frenchman’s demands.
Despite the red-hot form of Neymar and Messi, Mbappe remains the centre of discussion surrounding the club.

His power-plays behind the scenes and football politics have seemingly not gone unnoticed from team-mates and fans.
Neymar openly criticised the 2018 World Cup winner with a series of liked tweets.
The pair were since hauled in for talks but the relationship off-pitch appears to be far from ideal.
And with apparent promises from the club’s hierarchy not being kept, Mbappe has been making the case to leave the club despite signing a bumper contract as recently as this summer.

Retired legends have pleaded with Mbappe to do what is right for the team rather than himself.
Thierry Henry compared his own time at Barcelona with that of Mbappe’s, revealing he hated playing on the wing but did it for the sake of the team.
However, in terms of his future, Mbappe will not be allowed to join Real Madrid under any circumstances – with PSG to only entertain offers from other clubs. More

SERGIO RAMOS could be slapped with a SEVEN-GAME ban after his recent red card against Reims.The Paris Saint-Germain star was booked twice in the space of ten seconds for dissent by referee Pierre Gaillouste.

It was the 28th time that Ramos has been sent off in his fiery career – and he may not have heard the end of it.
The official referee’s report stated that the 36-year-old was sent off for “aggressive” behaviour – without citing specific insulting or abusive language.
RMC claim, however, that Canal Plus footage appeared to show Ramos swearing in Spanish at Gaillouste – an offence that would land the former Real Madrid star in hot water.
Should he be found guilty of such a misdemeanour, Ramos could be banned for anything between two and SEVEN games.

The report does add that he is unlikely to receive the heaviest possible punishment.
Ramos’ red came in the 41st minute with the score level at 0-0.
And while Christophe Galtier’s side didn’t go on to lose the match, Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Co were unable to find a winner.
Having hardly featured at all last season after being ravaged by injuries, Ramos has become a regular at Parc des Princes this season.

The veteran defender has featured in all 14 of their matches in all competitions to date – and even scored in the Trophee des Champions victory over Nantes.
He is set to be back in action tonight as PSG take on Benfica – with his suspension not applying in Europe.
After Saturday’s match, Galtier came out to defend Ramos.
He said: “I don’t know if he is at fault or not. He first takes a yellow card. I experienced this situation a few years back during Nimes-Lille.
“It is a problem, not cultural, but of football language. I’m sure Sergio didn’t mean to insult the referee but just used an expression that I hear hundreds of times throughout the week.
“It also exists on the ground without it being addressed to a particular person.

“It’s an expression. I think that at the time, the referee may have lacked discernment and took it for himself when I had already had this concern with Jose [Fonte].
“The referee had taken the expression as an insult to him when it was only a thing that is often said on the field.”

PSG boss Galtier has typically played Mbappe through the middle, spearheading an attack that also includes Lionel Messi and Neymar.
But the 23-year-old forward appears to have hit out at his role.
After the 0-0 draw at Reims on Saturday, Mbappe wrote on Instagram: “Match drawn, back on Tuesday. #icicestparis #pivotgang.”
And it’s the last hashtag that has caused the controversy.

The “#pivotgang” suggests Mbappe is unhappy at leading the line on his own, and would rather play alongside another striker.
The World Cup winner has previously admitted he has “more freedom” when playing for France as he plays with Olivier Giroud up front.
Just last month Mbappe vented his frustration at having to play in a “pivot” at PSG.
He said on national duty: “I play differently, they ask me other things here than they ask me at the club. I have a lot more freedom here (with the national side).

“The coach knows that there is a number 9 like Olivier (Giroud) who occupies the defences. Me, I can walk around, go into space, ask for the balls. 
“In Paris, it’s different there isn’t that, I’m asked to do the pivot, it’s different.”
Mbappe quickly deleted the post after uploading it to his Insta story following the match.
In the same game, Sergio Ramos was sent off for the 28th time in his career after being booked twice in the space of TEN SECONDS.
