Neymar Says Mbappé Became Jealous After Messi Joined PSG

Brazilian football legend Neymar recently opened up about his time at Paris Saint-Germain, revealing that his former teammate Kylian Mbappé became a bit “jealous” when Lionel Messi joined the club in August 2021.
In an interview on a podcast hosted by his fellow Brazilian, Romário, Neymar admitted that the presence of big egos, including his own and Mbappé’s, sometimes affected the team’s performances in crucial matches.
Neymar spoke about his relationship with Mbappé, stating that while they had some disagreements, the French forward was essential to PSG’s success.
“I used to call him ‘Golden Boy,’” Neymar recalled. “I always played with him and believed he would become one of the best.
I helped him out, we spent time together off the field, and our partnership was strong. But after Messi joined, things changed.
Mbappé seemed a bit jealous, not wanting to share me with anyone. That led to some tension between us and a shift in his attitude.”

Mbappe Sues PSG for Forcing Him to Sign New Deal and Harassing Him

Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe has taken legal action against his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, accusing them of attempted extortion and trying to pressure him into signing a new deal back in 2023 by banning him from training with the squad.
According to reports from Le Parisien, French authorities have launched an investigation after Mbappe, who also captains the French national team, filed a formal complaint for moral harassment. The complaint, which was submitted on May 16, focuses on how PSG handled the striker’s situation during the summer of 2023. At the time, Mbappe was left out of the first-team squad after refusing to extend his contract.
Following the complaint, two investigating judges have now been assigned to oversee the case, with the formal investigation officially starting on Tuesday. Mbappe eventually left PSG as a free agent and signed for Real Madrid, where he has since hit the ground running and made a strong impression with his performances.

Xabi Alonso Says Everyone Must Defend Including Vinicius and Mbappé

Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso has stressed that every player, including the attackers, must be involved when the team is defending. Speaking ahead of their final Club World Cup group match against Salzburg, Alonso made it clear that defending starts from the front.
“We all have to defend, all eleven players need to press — Vinicius Jr, Jude, Fede Valverde, Mbappé, everyone,” Alonso said. Madrid currently sits on four points after two games and needs just one more point to book a place in the Round of 16. Alonso also addressed questions about Rodrygo, who didn’t feature in their last match against Pachuca.
“Rodrygo is in good shape. He stayed on the bench for tactical reasons. He’s still very important for us, and we’ll definitely need him at the Club World Cup. He’s a special player and will have a big role to play,” Alonso added.

Messi Remains the Highest-Paid Player in MLS for the Second Year in a Row

Inter Miami star Lionel Messi has once again been named the highest-paid player in Major League Soccer for the second year running. This was revealed in new figures released by the MLS Players Association, which shows Messi earns a guaranteed $20.45 million. That amount only covers part of his income, as he also cashes in from endorsement deals with brands like Adidas and his revenue-sharing deal with Apple, the league’s broadcast partner.
Reports from Sportico suggest Messi could earn as much as $150 million throughout his two-and-a-half-year contract with Inter Miami, which began in the summer of 2023. Toronto FC striker Lorenzo Insigne sits second on the list with guaranteed earnings of $15.44 million. Third place goes to Messi’s Inter Miami teammate Sergio Busquets, who earns $8.5 million, followed by Atlanta United’s Miguel Almirón at $7.87 million, and San Diego FC’s Hirving “Chucky” Lozano with $7.63 million.
