Christophe Galtier was surprised by Luis Campos' comments surrounding speculation over Kylian Mbappe's future ahead of their game on Tuesday night.

The forward has asked to leave the club despite signing a new mega deal in the summer - when he had an alternative offer from Real Madrid. Having come off the field with an injury in the closing minutes, Mbappe's immediate future is as uncertain as his long-term one. It was a twist, he took a nasty tackle.

He has previously demonstrated both impressive levels of maturity and leadership. PSG could have done without him saying anything, of course, but keeping Mbappe quiet is proving difficult, as his latest social media post underlined.

Thierry Henry has heavily criticised Kylian Mbappe for his off-the-pitch antics at PSG and has warned him that the 'club is bigger' than him.

However, the coach tried to play down the situation calling it a [ "reaction in the heat of the moment, after a moment of disappointment." In the end, there's only one rule: If the coach asks you to do something, you do it for the good of the team. ](https://www.goal.com/en-in/news/petit-hits-out-at-mbappe-and-tells-psg-striker-to-grow-up/blt854dc7645eee2a05)Mbappe is facing the heat after he uploaded a cryptic Instagram story where he used the hashtag 'Pivot gang' [which has been interpreted as a dig at Galtier](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/mbappe-aims-instagram-dig-at-galtier-starting-him-up-front-alone-psg-draw-reims/bltd19eb24dce4683a7) after he was deployed as a lone striker against Reims.

Any manager who is tempted risks a desperate kind of subservience in the ensuing working relationship. (#pivotgang, Mbappe posted.) He wanted better summer signings, wants to play on the wings and wants a freer reign. It would be lunacy for any club to go anywhere near this bleating, self-absorbed individual who has grown so accustomed to power and to a football world where player is brand. Even some people last summer was expressing privately they were happy if he went to Madrid as things in the club would be easier.' Mbappe was visibly irritated after PSG's first game of the season, when Neymar refused to let him take a second penalty kick after he'd missed a first in a 5-2 win over Montpellier. The inconvenient truth is that no-one at PSG seems able to abide him. PSG won't allow him to leave this winter and it's questionable whether Madrid will want him and his £300million price tag anyway, having been so royally played once before. The withering look Neymar gives him on the clip of their exchange, crouched at the penalty spot where the Brazilian is placing the ball, also says everything. His only close ally in the squad now seems to be Achraf Hakimi, the Spanish-born Moroccan full-back. 'It's amazing to talk to the president. It's the short clip of Neymar being asked 'What's Mbappe like? 'I never imagined to talk with this guy about my new contract,' he said, without the remotest awareness of his own preposterous hyperbole.

Thierry Henry hit out at Kylian Mbappe amid growing rumours that the France forward wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain.

If it's bad for the team, I would get the argument." I didn't hear anyone say, 'Oh, what a nice gesture!' to go on the left instead of players who had less goals and less caps. [Sources told ESPN on Tuesday](/football/soccer-transfers/story/4767566/kylian-mbappe-seeks-psg-exit-in-january-amid-broken-relationship-with-club-sources) that the 23-year-old Mbappe, who extended his contract with PSG until 2025 after looking close to joining [Real Madrid](/soccer/team?id=86) during the close season, wants to leave the French champions in January.

Mbappe is supposed to be the brilliant young cornerstone of PSG's dominance and yet, just 143 days after signing a new deal, he wants out. Why?

He sees it at training and in matches, and he doesn't believe a quick fix is possible. Mbappe was told that Neymar would be sold in the summer, yet he is still there and thriving in the position Mbappe thought would be his own. The lack of depth at the back is a worry. Against Benfica, we saw some of the limitations of his PSG team, especially in defensive transitions. [Milan Skriniar](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/175195/Milan-Skriniar) was the target all summer, but he never came, and now PSG are arguably weak in the heart of defense following the injury to [Presnel Kimpembe](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/207015/Presnel-Kimpembe) and the red card to [Sergio Ramos](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/41579/Sergio-Ramos) last weekend at Reims. He was the focus of all the pregame talk, all the TV shows, all the radio shows and all the newspaper columns, and he was a major topic on social media. They tried for [Robert Lewandowski](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/125824/Robert-Lewandowski) (who joined [Barcelona](/soccer/team?id=83) instead), [Gianluca Scamacca](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/233140/Gianluca-Scamacca) (who joined West Ham) and even [Marcus Rashford](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/230945/Marcus-Rashford), but failed every time. They used to be friends, but their contrasting trajectories -- Mbappe is very much on the rise given his profile, while Neymar is winding down and arguably entering the final years of his career -- mean they have grown apart. The world was watching, and to be fair, they had been since he got off the [Paris Saint-Germain](/soccer/team?id=160) team bus with [Achraf Hakimi](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/240233/Achraf-Hakimi), his friend and teammate, almost four hours earlier. The Frenchman is also playing a position -- lone striker -- that he doesn't like. He wants to be paired with a second striker, to have more freedom by playing off a more conventional No. He feels betrayed by all the promises made, but not kept, by PSG when he extended his contract.

After all, it is less than five months since they celebrated, on the final night of last season in May, "All I know is that a rumour became a story and then that almost became a declaration." "You are taking things out of context," Achraf Hakimi, an ally of Mbappe's in the Paris dressing room, told journalists. The story emerged on Tuesday, with Spanish sports daily Marca and several French media reporting that Mbappe wants to leave PSG as soon as possible. Yet Mbappe was apparently expecting a new centre-forward to arrive as well. Mbappe, who scored 39 goals last season, got his 12th of this campaign in Tuesday's 1-1 Champions League draw against Benfica.

Chelsea are serious contenders, and feel they have a financial package that could entice Mbappe to join the club. The club would likely budge at the prospect of a termination, and just sell Mbappe for profit anyways. He could do it on them grounds that there has been a violation of labour law. It may be a mess, but Chelsea are willing to join the mess to sign the French forward. A termination of his contract would mean PSG lose out on the £200million it would take for a club to buy him. If Mbappe forced PSG to terminate the contract, it would possibly be a bad look on his part.

Maybe not, but it is important not to fall into the trap of failing to support and essentially hounding the manager out of the club. The manager is feeling the pressure. The team is feeling the pressure. Some of our players have been made scapegoats and the reality is that there are multiple reasons why things have just not started off the way we expected. What we need to remember is that a great team does not become a poor one overnight. My gut says it is nothing more than a pipe dream due to the sheer numbers involved for a transfer fee and wages. And while the squad has aged and grown older together, maybe Mbappé could spark a similar level of investment. A forward line of Mbappé, Díaz, Núñez and Salah would bring our frontline to the right age profile, but will it happen? No club in the world would turn him down, and it would inject an amazing level of interest and impetus into the club. From injuries to signings and from systems to our owners, everybody has had an element of the blame pointed in their direction. Whether we would do this or not is debatable, but it would be nice to be burdened with such a question. It is always a boost to qualify for the last-16 in Europe.

The story emerged on Tuesday, with Spanish sports daily Marca and several French media reporting that Mbappe wants to leave PSG as soon as possible.

In any case, there is surely no chance PSG would consider selling its star player in the January transfer window.
