The Brazilian and the France captain arrived at the Parc des Princes in the same transfer window in 2017.

Expectations were high for the Parisian club when both superstars signed, but the club never reached the heights anticipated, with not even Lionel Messi's arrival able to help the team achieve the European success it craves.

In fact, for much of Neymar's time with Mbappe at PSG, there was rumoured to be tension between them, and even after the 32-year-old's departure from the French capital last year, it appears to be lingering.

According to RMC Sport, earlier this week, Brazil's all-time top goalscorer "liked" a social media post that questioned the way his former club is run, as well as its perceived favouritism towards the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner.

The Instagram post, translated from Portuguese, was captioned: "PSG is an example of how to run a football club. They managed to assemble the best players and had the best team in the world. When the team started to function well, the ego of a 'Certain Frenchman' began to sour the atmosphere. Mbappe began to feel excluded, most of the team spoke Spanish and he threatened to quit. In order to avoid losing its crown jewel, PSG started to sell players who were not aligned with Mbappe’s way of thinking and instead signed the French players that he wanted. After the club did everything he wanted, Mbappe told PSG he’d be leaving at the end of the season. This is what is left of PSG."
