"You are never bigger than a club" - Zlatan Ibrahimovic comments about PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe and player power

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic has commented on Kylian Mbappe’s decision to remain in Paris, hinting that the Frenchman did not make the right choice. According to Ibrahimovic, Mbappe is now in a position where he is bigger than the club represents, which cannot stand.

Kylian Mbappe signed a three-year extension (two years, with an option for a third year) with PSG in May 2022, turning down the opportunity to play for Real Madrid. The forward has produced impressive performances on the pitch for the French outfit this season, but there have been reports of him being unhappy in Paris (via ESPN). In October, it was claimed that the player felt betrayed by the club and was seeking a shocking January exit.
