During Neymar’s farewell at PSG headquarters, Mbappe hugged his teammate goodbye. However, many people believe that the French striker is just “acting” because their relationship has been broken for a long time.

Goal emphasized that Mbappe’s hug with Neymar was just “clumsy drama” and not sincere. Sportskeeda newspaper (India) called it an “awkward hug” between two people who were on the same page but not satisfied. Even Sportbible newspaper said: “It was the coldest hug in the middle of the summer”.

Behind the camera, their broken relationship was revealed. According to L’Equipe, before leaving PSG to go to Saudi Arabia, Neymar held a farewell party for his teammates at PSG. Notably, the Brazilian striker did not invite Mbappe to attend. That further strengthens suspicions about the two people’s cold relationship.

Previously, according to Sport newspaper (France), Kylian Mbappe used “dirty tricks” to push Neymar to leave the Paris club. The striker born in 1998 issued an ultimatum asking the PSG Board of Directors to soon resolve Neymar’s future. To convince the French striker to stay, the top brass of the French club were forced to push “little Pele” out.

It should be added that, during the first time at PSG, Neymar and Mbappe had a quite close relationship. The two often say nice things about each other. However, later on, when the power struggle in the PSG dressing room broke out, they grew further apart.

Remember, in 2021, the camera lens at PSG’s match against Montpellier spotted Mbappe telling Idrissa Gueye that Neymar was just a parasite. The reason is because the Brazilian star did not pass the ball to Mbappe during the match.

The French striker later admitted: “Yes, I said that. That’s what often happens in football. I talked to Neymar afterwards. We had a frank discussion and there was no resentment. any”.

Last year, these two players clashed again when competing for a penalty kick in the match against Montpellier. In the end, the coaching staff awarded Mbappe the victory by awarding the penalty kick to this player.

Neymar was also cold towards Mbappe during Messi’s appearance at PSG. They do not appear together at parties. Recently, Neymar also caused a storm when he pressed the “like” button on posts criticizing Mbappe on social networks. Even right before leaving, the Brazilian striker made a similar move.

After all, Neymar’s departure is reasonable during the period when PSG aims to stabilize the squad. They cannot use too many players with strong personalities. That has led to constant “chaos” within the Paris Club over the years.
