According to the French press, Neymar did not invite Mbappe to the farewell party of Paris Saint Germain (PSG). That shows the fractured relationship of these two players.
During the farewell ceremony of Neymar at the headquarters of PSG, Mbappe hugged his team-mate goodbye. However, many people believe that the French striker is only “acting” because the relationship between the two has long been fractured.

Goal emphasized that Mbappe ‘s hug with Neymar was just a “clumsy drama” and not sincere. Sportskeeda (India) called it an “embarrassed hug” of two people with their faces but not content. Even, Sportbible newspaper likened: “It’s the coldest hug in the middle of summer”.
Behind the camera, they have revealed their fractured relationship. According to L’Equipe, before leaving PSG to go to Saudi Arabia, Neymar held a farewell party for his PSG teammates. Notably, the Brazilian striker did not invite Mbappe to attend. That reinforces suspicions about the cold relationship between the two.
Earlier, according to Sport (France), Kylian Mbappe used a “dirty trick” to push Neymar out of the Paris club. The striker 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1998 issued an ultimatum asking the PSG leadership to soon resolve Neymar’s future. To convince the French striker to stay, the tops of the French club were forced to push “little Pele” away.
It should be added that, during the first time at PSG, Neymar and Mbappe had a pretty close relationship. The two often say nice things about each other. However, later on, when the power battle in the dressing room at PSG broke out, they grew further apart.

Remember, in 2021, the camera lens at the PSG match against Montpellier discovered Mbappe telling Idrissa Gueye that Neymar was just a parasite. The reason is because the Brazilian star did not pass the ball to Mbappe in the match.
The French striker later admitted: “Yes, I said so. It’s a normal thing in football. I spoke to Neymar afterwards. We had a frank exchange and there were no complaints. “.
Last year, these two players clashed again when they competed for a penalty in the match against Montpellier. In the end, the coaching board arbitrated Mbappe to win when awarding the right to take a penalty kick to this player.
Neymar was also cold to Mbappe during Messi’s appearance at PSG. They do not appear together at parties. Recently, Neymar also caused a storm when he pressed the “like” button on posts criticizing Mbappe on social networks. Even before leaving, the Brazilian striker also made a similar move.
After all, Neymar’s departure is reasonable in the period PSG is aiming to stabilize the squad. They cannot use too many strong personality players. That led to the interior of the Paris club continuously “troubled” for many years.
