Former Paris Saint-Germain winger, Jerome Rothen, has claimed that forward Neymar is struggling to accept that his teammate Kylian Mbappe is at the forefront of the Parisians and not him, TrackNews Reports
According to Rothen, that is the real problem causing a rift between Mbappe and Neymar at PSG.
Mbappe signed a three-year deal with PSG earlier this summer.
The France international returned to action in PSG’s 5-2 win over Montpellier last weekend and sparked controversy with his attitude on the pitch.
However, Neymar, who has been on top form so far this season, scored twice against Montpellier, with one coming from the penalty spot.
The rivalry between Neymar and Mbappe reportedly exploded after the Brazilian snubbed the 23-year-old forward from penalty duty.
Speaking on RMC (via Foot Mercato), Rothen shared his thoughts on the brewing rift between Neymar and Mbappe.
Rothen said: “There is a problem within the club compared to everything that has been sold to Kylian so that he can stay. There are things that do not hold true. It’s a problem of hierarchy. In my opinion, (Kylian Mbappe) has no problem with Neymar because in no case did he ask that Neymar leave the club.
