Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly called a crisis meeting amid rising tensions between star duo Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
French sports daily L'Equipe claim the pair will have a discussion 'very soon' to enable the players to move on from the latest saga in their decaying relationship.
Some reports initially suggested that Mbappe requested for the Brazilian to be moved on this summer with L'Equipe revealing the 23-year-old 'would not have been against the idea.'
Their relationship has soured in recent times, more so since the arrival to the club of Lionel Messi last summer.
The fruitful friendship once enjoyed between the pair has now been reserved for Neymar and the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, leaving Mbappe out in the cold.
Tensions rose again on Saturday night when Neymar 'liked' a series of tweets suggesting Mbappe's penalty-taking duties were a part of his contractual rights.
The Brazilian is widely regarded as the club's best penalty taker but Mbappe was given the task of stepping up from the spot to fire Christophe Galtier's men ahead in Saturday's 5-2 win over Montpellier, but saw his spot kick saved.
PSG were awarded a second penalty shortly afterwards from which Neymar converted in front of the watchful Frenchman.
Mbappe was slammed by fans for throwing a strop during the game when he inexplicably stopped running during a blistering PSG counter attack which saw new signing Vitinha opt to pass to Messi instead of Mbappe who reacted by throwing his hands in the air and grinding to a halt.
The 23-year-old did finally open his account for the season in the second half with a close-range finish but his muted celebration told its own story despite team-mates gathering around him to celebrate.
Christophe Galtier's first big job as PSG head coach will be to put an end to the saga that is bringing more unwelcome attention to the club.
Galtier will have to find a way of instilling harmony in his stars ahead of an important season for the club.

But to be honest🔥🔥🔥 why would a player will ever refuse to pass the ball to his owner? That's absolutely disrespectful😊😏 At least they should fear the fact that he can loan them to MLS or Eibar😂😂😂

Messi had 3 Ballon d'Ors at the age of Mbappé, but he had never the ego of that french Sonic. Character is also a part of a Legend.

Most of the goals in Leo Messi's Career has been assisted by Full Backs like Alba and Dani Alves. But In PSG, Hakimi and Nuno Mendes will never cut the ball back to Messi even if he's in a good position. Mbappe will shoot at sight but will never pass to Messi. Nuno Mendes is a Portuguese and Hakimi is a Real Madrid's Academy Players. I don't know why but they have never pass the ball to Messi when he is in good position despite playing 1 years with him. Seems like they have agenda against Messi. It's really hard to score when you are playing with teammates that truly hates you.

He could have easily had a goal if he continued his run instead of mopping around in the middle of pitch...the boy needs learn to keep his ego in check not even Ronaldo plays like this 😒

Thank God Mbappe didn't come otherwise Madrid's young generation can't develop . After watching Mbappe's disrespectful gestures to his teammates against Montpellier , I really feel Good . Mbappe should not come in laliga otherwise he will ruin the club . Vinicius is better than him , Vini got so much hatred but he always remain calm and humble . But Mbappe is a spoil kid . After World Cup , he becomes arrogant.

Don’t even bring Messi to this. He’s achieved everything in his life and had 3 Ballon D’Ors to his name already at 23. Why would he be concerned about any players ego. PSG made a mistake by signing such contract with Mbappe and it’ll hunt them. It always start in the dressing room. Make he sha no go enter Ramos cos that one go give an woto woto 😂

u know what made me like Vinicius Jr more though I'm a Barca fan, remember when Benzema said, "he's playing against us don't pass to him" especially when he was having problem finishing his chances till Don Carlito came. He still kept his head down & worked on it properly now he's among the top players in the world, 😂😂😂 imagine that was Mbappe world would have collapsed

It doesn't matter, let them do whatever they want. They still won't affect Messi's career. Messi will still score goals in PsG from Neymar and other selfless players in the team. Messi's legacy has long been sealed.

Am a Liverpool fan but am sorry I have to say the truth sometimes football requires the truth , PSG is unable to compit with the top teams in Europe just because some of the players wants their own selfish desires which will make them never to be like the other top teams like you can watch how Man city , Real Madrid, Liverpool, bayern Munich plays you can see the team spirit and togetherness but I cannot see that in PSG they have all it takes to be at the top but one thing they need is team spirit , a good leader and togetherness that can make them to achieve more in that club.

yah that's why you don't care about psg don't you think your mentality is same as mbappe and ronaldo individual over team
No big man, you are mistaken. If Messi is wrong, I say it. But luckily enough our man Messi is rarely wrong bcos he is someone that puts the team ahead of himself. It's PSG b4 Messi, if their winning trophies means Messi leaves then let it be. I have ZERO problems with PSG the team, it is the individuals such as Mbappe and a few others especially those defenders that want to score instead of defending, that have the problem. If all of them put their differences aside, and the team ahead, PSG cn win important trophies this season including the UCL bcos they have the players to do so.
