• The France forward extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain after signing a mega deal
• Ibrahimovic played for PSG between 2012 and 2016, scoring a staggering 113 goals in 122 appearances

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has blasted Kylian Mbappe for trying to be bigger than Paris Saint-Germain, after eye-watering details of his new huge contract were leaked.

Mbappe signed a mega 3-year deal with the French champions this summer, snubbing an initial verbal agreement with Real Madrid for a potential deal.

It was widely reported last month that the Frenchman feels betrayed by the top brass of PSG, for failing to fulfill the promises made to him before inking his new deal .

Mbappe has publicly criticised Christophe Galtier’s tactics and managerial style, and appears to have fallen out with his Brazilian teammate Neymar Junior.

Now PSG legend Ibrahimovic has slammed Mbappe after the French star signed his new contract at Parc des Princes.

"Kylian Mbappé did not make the right choice for him, but for PSG yes," the ex-Sweden international told French publication Canal Plus via Marca.

Ibrahimovic stated that Mbappe had put himself in a situation where he was bigger than the club after PSG 'gave him the keys' to believe so, but the AC Milan striker says no player is bigger than their club.

"There is a reason why Zidane is Zidane. Mbappe wants to imitate him? That he starts to want to progress. Not to be satisfied."

Mbappe is Ligue 1's highest scorer this season with 11 goals, playing as the pivot of PSG’s attacking trio including Neymar and Lionel Messi.
