Kylian Mbappé was on track to become the new captain of PSG. But that was before his letter and his desire to leave the club free. Marquinhos is not reassured however because Luis Enrique could appoint a surprise captain.
New coach, new work directions and new changing room leaders. With the arrival of Luis Enrique on the PSG bench, the club’s internal environment promises to be turned upside down. The Spanish coach hasn’t left to follow the club’s guideline in recent years. If this applies to the collective game, it can also involve the dressing room. We think more particularly of the sensitive subject of the captaincy. Marquinhos appears as a fragile leader, brought to leave the armband. Vice-captain of the Brazilian, Kylian Mbappé was the favorite to take over from the defender under Christophe Galtier. But, the recent soap opera around his extension to PSG calls everything into question.
Mbappé fallen, who will become the captain of PSG?
After the letter sent by the Parisian star with his refusal to commit to PSG beyond 2024, it is easy to understand that the management does not want him as captain. However, according to French football specialist for English media Jonathan Johnson, Mbappé’s teammates would also be reluctant to see him become captain. In his column on the PSGtalk site, he claims that they did not appreciate Mbappé’s recent exit in France Football.

The latter frankly believed that the Parisian team was too weak to win the C1. If Mbappé can’t be captain, who will be? According to Jonathan Johnson, Luis Enrique will assess the character of his troops in the coming weeks. After that period, Johnson predicts a surprise name could come out of the Spanish coach’s hat. The lucky winner will have the heavy task of changing the mentality at PSG. No more nonchalance and panic in big games, you need a serene and motivated winner. Next to Kylian Mbappé, not many of them tick all the boxes in terms of charisma.
