Kylian Mbappe ‘would rather play with Lionel Messi than Neymar’ as PSG ace believes only two of three stars can flourish

KYLIAN MBAPPE remains the talk of the town in Paris and it could see Neymar drop out of the Paris Saint-Germain starting XI.

New boss Christophe Galtier overhauled the team's structure and seemed to have finally unearthed the recipe to unlocking the Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi front three.

However, despite their form playing together, Mbappe believes three really is a crowd and just two of their trio can truly flourish together.

And of the three, he believes the dynamic duo should be himself and Messi - even though the Argentine is expected to quit the club next summer.

Relations between Mbappe's camp and PSG are said to be at "a breaking point" due to "war inside" the club - stemming from the Frenchman's demands.

Despite the red-hot form of Neymar and Messi, Mbappe remains the centre of discussion surrounding the club.

His power-plays behind the scenes and football politics have seemingly not gone unnoticed from team-mates and fans.

Neymar openly criticised the 2018 World Cup winner with a series of liked tweets.

The pair were since hauled in for talks but the relationship off-pitch appears to be far from ideal.

And with apparent promises from the club's hierarchy not being kept, Mbappe has been making the case to leave the club despite signing a bumper contract as recently as this summer.

Retired legends have pleaded with Mbappe to do what is right for the team rather than himself.

Thierry Henry compared his own time at Barcelona with that of Mbappe's, revealing he hated playing on the wing but did it for the sake of the team.

However, in terms of his future, Mbappe will not be allowed to join Real Madrid under any circumstances - with PSG to only entertain offers from other clubs.
