Mbappe, who was on the verge of joining Real Madrid last summer, signed a fresh deal with PSG, making him the highest-paid footballer in the world. This was before Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed him following his move to Al-Nassr in December 2022.

Speaking to ESPN Argentina, Di Maria said:

“I think France, in general, have given [Kylian] Mbappe a lot of responsibility. The people, the president, PSG. They made him stay when he could’ve left and gave him all the power to be him and no one else. But there is a big difference, they gave him all that power with the best in history [Lionel Messi] next to him.”

Di Maria went on to say that Mbappe was given all the power and strength because he is French, he was born there, won a World Cup and has an extraordinary career ahead of him.

However, he pointed out that when he was at PSG, Mbappe was a good boy and he doesn’t think he has changed so much.

PSG’s decision to offer Mbappe a massive contract while ignoring Messi, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, has raised eyebrows.

Many fans and analysts have questioned the wisdom of the club’s strategy, with some suggesting that it may have contributed to Messi’s recent struggles at PSG.
