Neymar and Mbappe’s Encounter Ends in an Awkward Parting: ‘The Coldest Hug of the Summer’

When Neymar said goodbye to PSG to switch to Al-Hilal, Kylian Mbappe acted only “hug for yes” to the Brazilian player

Neymar has officially signed for Al-Hilal for a transfer fee of £ 86.3 million. He ended 6 years with PSG with 173 appearances, scoring 118 goals.

Neymar’s decision to leave PSG has influenced Mbappe’s stance as he looks set to stay at the club amid speculation linking the French forward with Real Madrid.

Neymar made it clear his feelings about Mbappe when he “liked” a post disparaging the French player on Instagram. Before that, most of the PSG players said goodbye to Neymar, except Mbappe. The French striker kept a silent attitude and did not say goodbye to his teammates.

Recently, an image has more clearly demonstrated the relationship between the two. On his last day at PSG, Neymar had a cold hug with Mbappe, an act that caused great attention on social media.One Twitter user wrote: “They really don’t want to hug.” A second person tweeted: “Obviously they hate each other.” A third commented: “These two have a bad relationship.”

The fourth person wrote: “Neymar shows an attitude”. Another commented: “The coldest hug of summer”. The last one commented: “They just hugged each other for money.”

According to Spanish newspaper Sport, Mbappe used a “dirty trick” to push Neymar away from PSG. Accordingly, Mbappe issued an ultimatum asking the PSG leadership to resolve Neymar’s future soon before talking about his future. To convince the French striker to stay, the French club’s BLD was forced to quickly push the Brazilian star away.

Kylian Mbappe uses a “dirty trick”, pushing Neymar to leave PSG

Sport (France) believes that Kylian Mbappe used a “dirty trick” to push Neymar away from Paris Saint Germain (PSG).

Just two days after Mbappe decided to stay at PSG, Neymar left the team to switch to Al Hilal in the Saudi national championship. According to Sport, those moves did not come about by chance.

Instead, Mbappe issued an ultimatum asking the PSG leadership to resolve Neymar’s future soon. To convince the French striker to stay, the tops of the French club were forced to push “little Pele” away.

The relationship between the two players has been broken for a long time. Most of the PSG players said goodbye to Neymar after the player left, except Mbappe. The French striker kept quiet and did not say goodbye to his teammates.

Remember, in 2021, the camera lens at the PSG match against Montpellier discovered Mbappe telling Idrissa Gueye that Neymar was just a parasite. The reason is because the Brazilian star did not pass the ball to Mbappe in the match.

The French striker later admitted: “Yes, I said so. It’s a normal thing in football. I spoke to Neymar afterwards. We had a frank exchange and there were no complaints. “.

Last year, these two players clashed again when they competed for a penalty in the match against Montpellier. In the end, the coaching board arbitrated Mbappe to win when awarding the right to take a penalty kick to this player.

Neymar was also cold to Mbappe during Messi’s appearance at PSG. They do not appear together at parties. Recently, Neymar also caused a storm when he pressed the “like” button on posts criticizing Mbappe on social networks. Even before leaving, the Brazilian striker also made a similar move.

Neymar and Mbappe are equal but not satisfied. They all want to be the leader of PSG. That is why both of these players gradually drifted apart, even though in their early days at PSG, they were close to each other.

After all, Neymar’s departure is reasonable in the period PSG is aiming to stabilize the squad. They cannot use too many strong personality players. That led to the interior of the Paris club continuously “troubled” for many years.
