France, Deschamps: “Pogba? If he is not at the top I will not take him to the World Cup”

A no that has made a lot of noise in France in recent hours, but which has more distant roots. As early as March, in fact, the same issue had emerged, arousing great discussions and controversies beyond the Alps. A very hot topic in Didier Deschamps’ retirement, where the Federation’s initial decision not to modify the agreement for the image rights of players triggered Mbappé’s sensational “protest”. “The Paris Saint Germain striker and his representatives – reports a note from the player’s entourage – deeply regret that no agreement can, as requested, be reached before the World Cup.”

Statements that together with Mbappé’s gesture immediately made the French Football Association retrace its steps. The FFF has in fact released a statement in an attempt to definitively resolve the dispute with the PSG striker and meet his requests. The president, Noel Le Graet – who had reiterated that he did not want to change the agreement before the World Cup in Qatar – reached the federal center of Clairefontaine to speak with the players and discuss the matter with the coach, Didier Deschamps, with some managers and marketing managers. A meeting that has apparently given positive results. “The FFF is pleased to work on the guidelines of a new agreement that will allow it to guarantee its interests taking into account the concerns and legitimate beliefs expressed by its players.“, reads a press release from the French Football Association.
