PSG players unhappy with Mbappe's contract
Kylian Mbappe is reportedly at the centre of a PSG squad split and is fast losing support from his teammates, with several angry at his privileged position within the club.
The French star signed a new deal with the French champions in the summer worth £650,000-per-week after sensationally snubbing the advances of Real Madrid.

As part of the new deal, Mbappe was also handed influence over sporting affairs and the way the club is run.
However, it hasn't stopped the talking at the Parc des Princes with several dramas continuing to engulf the club, as reports broke earlier this week in Le Parisien that Mbappe now wants to leave PSG after feeling 'betrayed' by the board.
Several of his teammates are reportedly unhappy with the French star's attitude, which continues to change each week, with Mbappe becoming increasingly isolated within the squad.
The PSG squad is now split, with Neymar - who has infamously had public tension with Mbappe on several occasions already this season - and his South American teammates turning away from Mbappe after the Brazilian learnt of the Frenchman's desire to leave.
Similarly, centre-back Marquinhos and the Spanish speakers in the squad are also angry with Mbappe's increased power.
Mbappe's support base is ever shrinking with the club's star man now only having the backing of his fellow French teammates Presnel Kimpembe, Nordi Mukiele and Hugo Ekitike, along with Achraf Hakimi.
It was hoped that the arrival of new boss Christophe Galtier would heal divisions within the dressing room, which had previously held the club back.
This was boosted by the exits of Argentinian stars Angel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes as this reduced the significant influence of the South American players in the squad.
However, the South Americans who remained were unhappy with the amount of power that Mbappe had been granted, with the terms of his new contract evident of a club who were desperate to retain their star man.
