On March 23, Kylian Mbappé refused to participate in a sponsorship operation at the Clairefontaine training center, to show his disagreement with the agreement signed by the Blues with the FFF for the exploitation of their image rights.
The president of the federation, Noël Le Graët, reacted by threatening the player to no longer receive income related to the image rights of the Blues.
The players are currently gathered for their last internship before the World Cup in Qatar.
They will face Austria this Thursday at the Stade de France, then Denmark on Sunday in Copenhagen, as part of the League of Nations.
