Kylian Mbappe on Thursday complained about Paris Saint-Germain’s use of a video of him for his or her season-ticket promoting marketing campaign, earlier than the membership eliminated the footage. PSG’s star striker stated he would combat for “individual image rights” after an interview with him was utilized by the membership in a video to advertise ticket gross sales for subsequent season. “At no time was I informed of the content of the interview,” Mbappe stated on Instagram. “It looked like a basic interview during a club marketing day. I don’t agree with this published video.

“This is why I’m combating for particular person picture rights. PSG is a giant membership and a giant household, however it’s definitely not Kylian Saint-Germain.”

French champions PSG later took the video down from their website and YouTube channel, although it can still be viewed on other YouTube channels.

France captain Mbappe was the only player to speak in the promotional film.

Lionel Messi, who a source told AFP earlier this week is set to leave PSG at the end of this season, was not featured.

Neymar, who is recovering from an ankle injury, did not feature either.

PSG did not comment on Mbappe’s remarks when contacted.

Mbappe has called for individual image rights for players while on international duty with France.

Last September he refused to take part in a photo shoot and said he didn’t mind “placing myself within the highlight whether it is useful for all my teammates, even when it means I get criticised.”

His actions led the French Football Federation agreeing to modify its agreement with players relating to their image rights.
