Paris Saint-Germain has once again become the center of attentionânot because of performances on the pitch, but because of off-field drama involving two of its stars. Reports emerging from French media suggest that midfielder Manuel Ugarte is now romantically linked with Kylian MbappĂ©âs ex-girlfriend, a development that has sent shockwaves through the PSG locker room.
According to insiders, the relationship has created unexpected tension within the squad. MbappĂ©, who is rumored to still hold feelings for his former partner, did not take the news lightly. Sources claim that the French superstar has effectively âcut tiesâ with Ugarte, refusing to interact with him during training sessions and team gatherings.
âMbappĂ© feels betrayed. Even though the relationship had ended, there are still emotions involved,â said one PSG insider. âHis decision to distance himself from Ugarte is not just personalâitâs starting to affect the overall atmosphere in the team.â

While PSGâs management has not officially commented on the rumors, fans and analysts are already debating whether this personal conflict could influence the clubâs performances in the new season. Team chemistry is vital for success, and any friction between star players could prove costly in PSGâs pursuit of domestic and European glory.
The story also highlights the fragile balance within a star-studded squad. Mbappé, who remains the face of PSG, is said to be frustrated not only with Ugarte but also with the lack of discretion surrounding the situation. Meanwhile, Ugarte has stayed silent, neither confirming nor denying the rumors.
For now, the drama continues to unfold, and all eyes are on how PSGâs coaching staff will manage the tension between the two players. Will the team be able to overcome this distraction, or will it mark the beginning of deeper cracks within the Parisian powerhouse?
