The "GFFN" network reported that Mbappé asked the club management to get rid of Neymar when renewing his contract at the end of last season, after he had already managed to dismiss Leonardo from the role of sporting director and Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino. The report stated that Mbappé believes the pitch can only accommodate two forwards following Lionel Messi's arrival, and that the Frenchman is focused on learning from Messi, wanting the club to part ways with Neymar. The disagreement between Mbappé and Neymar erupted during the match between PSG and Montpellier when the young Frenchman requested the ball to take a penalty kick, while the Brazilian insisted on taking the kick himself and refused to give the ball to Mbappé.
