PSG: Mbappé, Tuchel and Leonardo meet on Sunday night
According to the French publication, Mbappé is not happy with the way Tuchel keeps taking him off and PSG are keen to solve the persistent issues.
The relationship between Mbappé and his manager, Thomas Tuchel is not currently in its best state. On Saturday, the pair were involved in an awkward and heated chat after the French striker was substituted against Montpellier with the game already won. This is not the first clash between the pair.
According to Le Parisien, there was a meeting on Sunday night between Tuchel, Mbappé and Leonardo, PSG's sporting director, to fix the problem that seems to be simmering between the pair. There was a relaxed and cordial vibe to the meeting according to the newspaper. They do say, however, that the relationship between the pair could be at the point of no return.

Mbappé is angry, according to the report, because the gestures made by the club are not matched by the manager. PSG want to convince Mbappé to remain at the club and make him the spearhead of their ambitious project but the French star doesn't see Tuchel doing the same. He wants to know why the other stars remain on the field for the full 90 when he is often replaced.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid lie in wait and the World Cup winning striker is thinking it could be on this summer too. Mbappé is the long term wish of Florentino Pérez. Madrid know the only chance they have is if he doesn't renew his contract, which expires in 2022. It's a renewal that seems more remote given the latest row. He has rebuffed talk of the renewal in the past and the latest row pushes the two sides even further apart.
