« Mbappé is Crazy », Neymar is « Weak » : Neymar’s Father Harshly Criticizes the French Star

According to L’Équipe Explore, Neymar’s father believes that Kylian Mbappé is « crazy ».

The relationship between Kylian Mbappé and Neymar has soured over time. Initially friends, the two PSG stars have gradually drifted apart, with Mbappé openly admitting that their relationship was complicated. There are persistent rumors that Mbappé demanded Neymar’s departure to extend his own contract with PSG.

However, in 2019, the situation was quite different. According to L’Équipe Explore, when Neymar wanted to return to FC Barcelona two years after joining PSG, it was Kylian Mbappé who asked him to stay.

« You better not leave, you can’t betray us like this… If you leave, you’re weak, » the Frenchman reportedly told the Brazilian, according to L’Équipe Explore.

But as time passed, their relationship deteriorated, and they did not part on good terms. According to Neymar Senior, the reason for this fallout is the excessive importance given to Mbappé by the club. « They gave the keys to the club to a madman, » Neymar Senior reportedly said.
