Boos could be heard as Kylian Mbappe arrived for the 2022 Ballon d’Or ceremony with his father and walked onto the red carpet.

The ceremony is being held at the at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris and it seems local fans were not too happy to see the PSG star.

Mbappe’s future at PSG seems uncertain amid continued speculation about a possible exit. The forward has denied “completely false” reports that he has asked to leave in the January transfer window.

It had been previously reported that Mbappe wanted to sever his ties with the club, despite only signing a new contract in the summer, after seeing working relationships break down.

PSG and Mbappe are back in Ligue 1 action on Friday at Ajaccio.

Karim Benzima of France and Real Madrid is on the pole position to grab the trophy after a stellar season in 2021- 2022.
