Daniel Riolo, RMC journalist, believes PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is solely responsible for the fiasco surrounding Kylian Mbappé’s departure.
Kylian Mbappé leaves for zero euros, making PSG the laughingstock. For Daniel Riolo, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi is the sole and primary culprit for this outcome. « We expected this explanation, for it to turn into a showdown. Was it the right place? I don’t know. It’s perhaps the only thing that bothers me about this story, » he said on RMC.
« Now, if he did it, it’s because the French team authorized it, because it didn’t bother Deschamps. If Deschamps said okay, go ahead, do it. »
« Did he lack class? Okay, fine… That’s possible, I can accept that. But for him, the problem is elsewhere. I think of the PSG supporters: between a Mbappé who lacks class and a Mbappé in top form against Dortmund, what do we choose? I think everyone would have wanted him to be in top form against Dortmund, and he wasn’t allowed to be in top form, » says Daniel Riolo, referring to Mbappé’s reduced playing time at the end of the season. According to Kylian Mbappé, this decision was imposed by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.
