“He has been on an ego train that has been stimming with no driver and no brakes” – Ex-Chelsea star brutally slams Kylian Mbappe for ‘crying like a big baby’ at PSG

Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley has ripped into Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) forward Kylian Mbappe for reportedly wanting to leave the club.

As per ESPN, the Frenchman would be willing to leave as early as January due to his broken relationship with the club. This comes just three months after he signed a big new contract at the Parc des Princes.

Mbappe became the highest-paid footballer in the world with a new contract beside receiving a big signing fee. The 23-year-old forward was highly linked with Real Madrid but opted to stay at PSG. However, he now wants to leave the club soon.

Burley has slammed Mbappe after reports came out about the Frenchman's state of unrest at the club. He told ESPN FC:

"They did try and bring some strikers to fulfill his promises, to play and give him his freedom, he's just not a team player. It's what Kylian wants Kylian gets."

He added:

"I don't care what Galtier says, I don't care what PSG say, let's be honest about it. This man unless he gets his own way is the biggest baby in world football at the moment, there's no doubt about it. His ego is out of control, a few months ago when they gave him the earth, he told everybody the total BS that this was a project, his words not mine."

Burley accused Mbappe of being a "big baby" and opined that he should have left PSG in the summer. He said:

“Do you think every footballer gets to play exactly where they want in every game and every team is perfect and every promise a club makes is kept, no it's not but I'm not surprised. They tried to get Lewandowski, they gave him a van full of cash, huge salary; mollycoddled him, wrapped him in cotton wool and a few months into the season he's crying like a big baby because he's not playing his favourite position, I mean come on."

He added:

“I said at the time he should have made the move in the summer, he should have cut ties in the summer, he didn't..and whenever Kylian Mbappe doesn't get what he wants, the proverbial toys come out the pram, there's no other way to look at it. I said it months ago, he's a majestic footballer but he has been on an ego train that has been stimming with no driver and no brakes.”
