Spanish journalist Josep Pedrerol has ripped into Kylian Mbappe for apparently breaking his word with Real Madrid by signing an extension with PSG.
Following days of incessant reports of the Frenchman agreeing to join Los Blancos, Mbappe ended up staying in Paris instead.
Before their final league match of the season last night, PSG chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi made an official announcement of the 23-year-old's extension until 2025 at the Parc des Princes.
Until a few days ago, the Ligue 1 champions were on the brink of losing the Frenchman on a free transfer, but enticed him into staying put with extraordinary financial offers.
Mbappe is now set to earn a staggering β¬100 million-a-year in wages after taxes, with an additional β¬300 million in signing-on bonuses, and get 100% of his image rights too.
If that wasn't enough, he reportedly also has a day in any change of managers and the club's activities in the transfer market.
While Mbappe's extension has spelt good news for the Parisian fans, it has clearly not gone down well in Spain, with La Liga set to file a complaint against PSG to UEFA, the French tax authorities and the European Union.
The Spanish media is also riled up after the player's spectacular U-turn as journalist Pedrerol slammed Mbappe on Spanish football television programme El Chiringuito TV.
He said:
"Mbappe has broken his word."
"It makes me rage that Mbappe has left Madrid thrown. Everything was done... expect the signature."
It was later revealed that Mbappe personally called Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to convey his decision, with Pedrerol also claiming that Perez and Mbappe engaged in video calls every two weeks.
He added:
"Florentino spoke on Skype with Mbappe every 15 days."
Mbappe settled his long-winded transfer saga with a stunning hat-trick in PSG's 5-0 drubbing of Metz to close out their 2021-22 campaign on a high.
PSG could bid adieu to Pochettino and Leonardo
While Mbappe is now set to remain at the club, their manager may not, as Mauricio Pochettino was linked with a departure soon after the player's announcement.
Former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane, who's been on a hiatus since vacating his position at the Santiago Bernabeu last year, is now the favorite to replace the Argentine.
According to French journalist Saber Desfarges, PSG's sporting director Leonardo was dismissed last night and they're set to appoint a new one soon.

Occupation Hazard, AL Khalifa puts pressure on Leonardo to convince Mpabe to sign extension at PSG, Leonardo adheres to his boss and do as he's been instructed to do, Mbape is not happy with the way and manner Leonardo is putting him under pressure to sign a new contract but later agrees to sign but under the condition that Leonardo is dismissed, AL Khalifa who instructed Leonardo to put the pressure on Mbape unfortunately agrees to Mbape's demand, what an irony, AL Khalifa needs to be careful, one day a player will demand for his own head, player power I guess...

Totti stayed for love of his club, we respect that, mbappe stayed for money, gold diggers never have happy endings
