Neymar and Mbappé at PSG: Past disputes could be the trigger
There were already tensions between Neymar and Kylian Mbappé during their time at Paris-Saint-Germain. Even Lionel Messi, who now plays for Inter Miami in the MLS, was involved in conflicts with the two superstars – Messi would have needed a bodyguard at the time. The arguments at the time could be the trigger for the mutual unfollowing. These days, unfollowing on social media is almost tantamount to unfriending someone, but at the same time these incidents also raise questions about team chemistry at the time.
Neymar had previously liked a taunt against Mbappé, which further complicates the situation. After his move to Al Hilal became official, Neymar made headlines again. He left a like on an Instagram post by user fiqueiputomesmo_, which suggested why Neymar might have left Paris. The post said: “Kylian Mbappé made it clear to PSG last summer that there was no longer a place for him and Neymar in the same squad. Coincidentally, on the day Neymar was practically announced at Al-Hilal, Mbappé returned to training super happy.”
It remains to be seen whether Neymar and Kylian Mbappé will find each other again after these headlines. Neymar’s league rival CR7 also regularly makes headlines in Saudi Arabia; most recently, he and his bodyguard caused a stir with a fan push in Saudi Arabia. His salary is also regularly discussed, as he is currently the highest earner in football.
