Kylian Mbappe has forced the French Football Federation (FFF) into an embarrassing climbdown in the dispute over players’ image rights after French chiefs promised an immediate review of its current agreement. The French star has been leading opposition to how the players and their image rights are used to promote sponsors for several months.
On Monday, reports in the French media claimed Mbappe had boycotted a promotional photoshoot with the national team’s sponsors whilst on international duty amid his ongoing battle with the FFF over the issue. The 23-year-old is the most marketable player in the squad and his absence highlighted how serious the issue had become.
