The PSG team is currently in Asia, visiting Japan and South Korea, and surprisingly, Kylian Mbappé’s absence doesn’t seem to be causing much of a stir among the fans.
Mbappé, the French superstar, and that’s it? While PSG is in Japan, the main attraction seems to be Kang-In Lee. Despite the absence of the French star, Paris will still receive their 20 million euros as Mbappé remains in the loft, awaiting a mutually beneficial deal.
The news of Mbappé’s absence surprised his teammates, but in Japan, the media coverage has been relatively muted. A Japanese journalist interviewed by L’Equipe confirms, “There isn’t much buzz at the moment. People are wondering if it’s a joke that he’s not coming. We saw that his little brother, Ethan, is the one who came instead.”
It appears that there is little excitement surrounding the situation, which may further confirm that PSG has become a great club without necessarily relying on a single big star.
