Mbappe booed by PSG fans in Messi's presentation

Not the match against Strasbourg, nor Leo Messi, nor any of the other new signings. The first big talking point in the evening at the Parc des Princes was Kylian Mbappe. And not for anything positive, either.

PSG introduced the starting eleven that would start their second match of the new season. The number 7 was the last to be announced on the screens and, unexpectedly, sounds of boos and whistles rang out among his own fans.

From the terraces of the Parisian stadium, a section of PSG supporters, who had applauded every other name mentioned previously, whistled and booed one of their own stars. It appears that a certain part of the fanbase is not happy with the striker's current situation, who hasn't yet closed the door to a potential exit. Real Madrid are the ones that have been constantly linked with his signing.

In fact, according to media in France, Monday will be an important day in the 'Mbappe case'. PSG's number 7 will reportedly reveal what will be his future amid the countless rumours that are split between him looking for an exit to spearhead another project, and staying a part of a 'dream team' featuring Messi, Neymar and co.

Shortly after the boos, the speaker took the floor once more to continue with the presentation and try and cover up a reaction which will not go unnoticed by Madrid fans around the world, as they continue to dream of bringing in the young star.
