Kylian Mbappé may be ready to call time on his international career with France amid growing tensions with national team coach Didier Deschamps.
Reports from journalist Romain Molina suggest the rift between the 25-year-old star and Deschamps has deepened to the point where Mbappé feels disillusioned with his role on the team.
Behind Mbappé’s growing discontent is his mother and agent, Fayza Lamari. The duo reportedly feels isolated, pointing to what they perceive as a concerted effort within the French media to paint them in a negative light.
This “plot” narrative has driven Mbappé to adopt a more defensive stance, feeling embattled and unsupported.
The rift reportedly stems from more than just tactics. Insiders say Mbappé and Lamari feel that neither the French public nor the press respects the player’s immense contributions to the team, despite his central role in their recent successes.
The ongoing criticism and what Mbappé’s camp describes as a lack of “love” from his home country have fueled the star’s disillusionment.
Deschamps, France’s World Cup-winning coach, remains silent on the matter, though sources close to the team say his relationship with Mbappé has been “tense.”
This standoff adds further complexity to France’s 2024 European Championship ambitions, as rumors swirl that Mbappé’s absence from the team could become a reality.
For fans, this marks a surprising and potentially heartbreaking chapter in Mbappé’s career.
Should the PSG star walk away from international duty, it could signal the end of an era and a missed opportunity for France to secure another international title with one of the world’s most electrifying talents.
