The relationship between Kylian Mbappé and PSG president Nasser al-Khelaïfi has been strained for months, particularly after Mbappé declined a second contract extension. Despite this tension, al-Khelaïfi recently praised Mbappé at the Globe Soccer Awards in Sardinia, acknowledging his achievements with PSG over seven years and expressing pride in his development into one of the world's best players. Al-Khelaïfi also accepted Mbappé's decision to seek new challenges and left open the possibility of his return to PSG in the future. Despite the public show of respect, their current interactions are primarily handled through lawyers, indicating ongoing tension.
