  • Paolo Di Canio is not happy with how Kylian Mbappe is handling his PSG transfer saga
  • The French superstar has informed PSG about his intention to leave them next season
  • The 24-year-old is entering the final year of his two-year contract in the French capital

Kylian Mbappe’s recent outburst against Paris Saint-Germain has not gone down well with former Italian and West Ham United player, Paolo Di Canio, who has criticised the forward.

The 2022 World Cup Golden Boot winner took shots at the club in a recent interview, as the fallout of his decision not to activate a contract extension clause with the Ligue 1 champions continues to rain down.

According to Goal, Di Canio has now labelled Mbappe as 'indecent and disrespectful' towards the Parisians, who have reportedly informed the forward he must extend his deal or be sold off this summer.

"We can talk about the mistakes of PSG but there is also the indecency of the boy - I call it indecency because he already took advantage of it last year and now he wants to play for a year and then leave as a free agent to win some money at Real Madrid," the Italian legend said.

The French star appears to have placed his club in a quandary, with his desire not to be sold off and refusal to extend his deal meaning he could become a free agent in 2024.

PSG stars angry at Mbappe

Meanwhile, six PSG players have complained to the club's president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, following comments made by Mbappe to the media, Daily Mirror reports.

These players are angry at the 24-year-old after the interview in which he claimed the Ligue 1 champions were a divisive club which tended to attract gossip.

Some of Mbappe’s PSG teammates, including two new signings, have taken issue with the French forward and made their feelings known to the club’s hierarchy.

Mbappe removed from PSG poster

Earlier, Sports Brief reported the future of Mbappe being uncertain, with his every word or action being scrutinised before being splashed across the headlines.

The latest twist in the tale is the star not featuring in Paris Saint-Germain's poster for this month's friendly against the Cristiano Ronaldo-led Al-Nassr in Japan.

Mbappe was previously one of the featured player on the promotional material published online by the Parisians. However, it seems he has now been removed.
