PSG step up Kylian Mbappe transfer battle by removing giant mural of the star from the stadium and his shirt from the club store

PSG have stopped selling Kylian Mbappe shirts and removed a massive mural of the fugitive legend from their stadium.

With reports that their star player has a deal with Real Madrid, the Ligue 1 winners escalated the unpleasant standoff with him.

After declining to extend his contract past the summer, Mbappe, 24, was told to train with the B team on Monday.

Instead of letting the France striker depart for free the following year, PSG now demands at least £250 million for him.

Real are still the front-runners to sign him. despite the Saudi club Al-Hilal reportedly offering an unbelievable £11.6 million every week.

An enormous mural, featuring Mbappe mostly, was torn off the side of the Parc Des Princes arena by construction workers using a crane.

And PSG’s response to their conflict with possibly the finest player in the world was just as unbearably painful.

Mbappe spent five fantastic seasons with the French giants, but his jersey is no longer available in the club store.

When you consider that Neymar and Lionel Messi’s shirts are still on the market, that seems like a major snub.

Brazilian legend Neymar, 31, of PSG, has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester United after saying he wants to transfer in the summer as well.

It is believed that Mauricio Pochettino’s Blues and the former Barcelona hero are still in contract negotiations.

Neymar will be targeted by Sheikh Jassim for Old Trafford if he decides to forgo moving during this transfer window, assuming the Qatari financier succeeds in his bid for a takeover.

Messi, a seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, later left PSG for Inter Miami in June after declaring he was “not happy in France.”

The 36-year-old World Cup-winning Argentine stated that his two years in Paris negatively impacted his family life and led him to decide to go to the MLS.

However, it appears that, unlike Mbappe’s, Messi’s kit is still popular with PSG club officials and supporters.
