Former French international footballer and current media pundit Christophe Dugarry has publicly criticized the manner of Kylian Mbappé's departure from Paris Saint-Germain. In comments reported by outlets like RMC Sport, Dugarry described the player's farewell to the club's fans as "very embarrassing."
Dugarry's reaction follows Mbappé's official announcement confirming his exit from PSG at the end of his contract this summer. The forward posted a video message to social media, thanking the club and its supporters. Dugarry characterized this media event as a "bomb," suggesting the process was overly orchestrated for public attention.
The pundit argued that the prolonged speculation and final announcement created unnecessary drama. He implied that such a high-profile departure distracts from the team's ongoing sporting objectives at a crucial point in the season.
Mbappé is widely expected to join Real Madrid as a free agent, though neither club has made an official announcement. Dugarry's comments reflect a segment of opinion viewing the saga as a media circus rather than a simple contractual transition.
