I always thought of him as the kind of player who chases money, the kind of player who acts selfish on the pitch, but I didn't see that in the last season, so there was a feeling that he had changed, but apparently not. The SPL money that was offered to him he rejected probably for one reason, because going to this league now when it is just in the development stage is not a very sensible decision.

A couple of hours ago there were rumours that he will stay at PSG until his contract expires, but as we can see - the situation around him and the club management is terrible, he was suspended from games

It won't end for a while and there will be news everyday about it I guess, but regarding his selfishness, I think he is still a great player and what sets him apart from some other super talents who could be world class is that he is usually not injured and he scores a lot. But imagine he wouldn't have all this hysteria around him, which he is also to blame for, he could already be of a different, much better status. He is covering up his quality as a player with the problems that are all about money.

Basically, Mbappe is not the type of player who has a dependence on big money. Because after all, the amount of Mbappe current salary at PSG is also basically because PSG increased his salary and not Mbappe request. Yes, PSG goal at that time was to hold Mbappe to be able to stay in the PSG squad. Because at that time too, that Mbappe was very close to leaving PSG and joining Real Madrid. Therefore, some time ago also Mbappe was able to reject an offer to play in the Saudi League. Also, Mbappe refused a contract extension with an increased salary also at PSG. Because obviously, Mbappe priority at the moment is to get better in the Champion League, so it's no wonder that Mbappe has always been linked with Real Madrid so far.

"Mbappe's request"...

If a player refuses to stay then guess what options a club has to make the player stay for longer without the play explicitly requesting it - they pay him more money. He doesn't have to ask for more money, he just says that he is about to leave. Then PSG said hey wait, what about we pay you a fortune on top of the fortune you are already getting? Then the player says well, let me think for a second, yes I am staying.

This is not about money needed, it is about money wanted. Mbappe takes whatever he can get even when it costs him some of his reputation.
