The situation changed in the summer transfer window, after Mbappe suddenly did not want to renew his contract with PSG, only wanting to play until the end of the 2023-2024 season and then leave for free. This change also changed Mbappe's entire position with the Paris team.
Mbappe was not made PSG club captain as desired
"PSG have held two rounds of voting for the team's captain. Center-back Marquinhos is still trusted, while Mbappe seems to no longer be popular with his teammates. Mbappe, along with Verratti, Danilo Pereira and Presnel Kimpembe, are the main candidates in the vote to elect PSG captain, but all have far fewer votes than Marquinhos," said L'Équipe (France).
"Now, people will have to wait and see what role coach Luis Enrique gives Mbappe at PSG. The Spanish military leader declared that he did not want to participate in the appointment of the club's captain.
That's why there was a vote. Marquinhos deserves to be PSG captain, because this central defender was also captain under coach Mauricio Pochettino and coach Christophe Galtier. Therefore, he has a lot of experience and the ability to lead the Paris team," L'Équipe newspaper assessed.
Mbappe has not yet determined his future at PSG.
"Mbappe's position can only change, with the possibility of returning to the vice-captaincy of PSG, if he agrees to negotiate a contract extension in the near future. PSG still hopes to keep Mbappe, giving the player the option to leave in June 2024 if he signs an extension until June 2025. This possibility is currently very optimistic, as Mbappe's side has agreed to negotiate," L'Équipe added.
