The PSG team is currently in Asia, visiting Japan and South Korea, and surprisingly, Kylian Mbappé’s absence doesn’t seem to be causing much of a stir among the fans.
Mbappé, the French superstar, and that’s it? While PSG is in Japan, the main attraction seems to be Kang-In Lee. Despite the absence of the French star, Paris will still receive their 20 million euros as Mbappé remains in the loft, awaiting a mutually beneficial deal.
The news of Mbappé’s absence surprised his teammates, but in Japan, the media coverage has been relatively muted. A Japanese journalist interviewed by L’Equipe confirms, « There isn’t much buzz at the moment. People are wondering if it’s a joke that he’s not coming. We saw that his little brother, Ethan, is the one who came instead. »
It appears that there is little excitement surrounding the situation, which may further confirm that PSG has become a great club without necessarily relying on a single big star.
