AC Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic has questioned Kylian Mbappe’s decision to stay at Paris Saint-Germain and warned him that “you are never bigger than a club.”
Mbappe snubbed a move to Real Madrid to sign a three-year extension with the French champions in May and became the highest-paid player in world football, according to ESPN sources.
According to Forbes, Mbappe will earn $128 million for the 2022-23 season — a record for the magazine’s annual rankings — but former PSG star Ibrahimovic has hit out at the forward’s decision to stay.
“Mbappe, as a person I do not know him very well. As a player, he is fantastic,” Ibrahimovic told Canal Plus. “But when you lose discipline, you lose your identity.
“There is a reason why Zidane is Zidane. Mbappe wants to imitate him? That he starts to want to progress. Not to be satisfied.”
