Following Paris Saint-Germain's 3-1 victory over Toulouse FC on May 12, 2024, a section of the club's supporters has initiated an online petition calling for a statue of departing star Kylian Mbappé to be erected outside the Parc des Princes. The match was confirmed by multiple outlets as Mbappé's final home game for the club before his expected departure at the end of the season.
The petition, hosted on the platform MesOpinions, had garnered over 4,000 signatures as of May 13, 2024. It argues that Mbappé, the club's all-time top scorer, deserves permanent recognition for his historic contributions. The call for a statue represents a significant fan-driven gesture aimed at honoring the player's legacy.
While the club has officially bid farewell to Mbappé with tributes and ceremonies, there has been no official response from PSG management regarding the feasibility or plans for constructing a statue. Such permanent monuments are rare in football and typically require substantial planning and club approval.
The demand highlights the deep connection between the player and the fanbase, despite the ongoing discussions about his future. It remains a symbolic request from supporters rather than a confirmed project from the club's hierarchy.
