Mbappe told Pogba he is ‘fed up’ as PSG split into 'two camps' 

The French international squad met up this Monday at their base in Clairefontaine and there was an interesting exchange between Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe when they greeted each other, with the latter confiding something in his teammate.

Les Bleus are preparing for two home friendlies this week against Ivory Coast and South Africa in what for some players is a welcome break from the stresses of club football.

The cameras of the French Football Federation were there to capture the moment when Pogba and Mbappe embraced, with the Manchester United midfielder asking "how's it going?" and the Paris-Saint-Germain forward replaying "I'm a bit fed up".

Mbappe's words haven't gone unnoticed and fans and media alike have gone into a frenzy trying to decipher what he means and what he could be fed up with. There are options to consider, but they all relate to his club, both his own situation and the general one at PSG right now.

It's no secret that the 23-year-old's current PSG contract expires this summer and he is at the centre of a tug of war between the French side and Real Madrid, in what has become for both parties something much bigger than simply the loss or acquisition of a top young player.

Add to that PSG's disappointing Champions League collapse at the hands of Los Blancos and the reported problems within the squad, including accusations against Neymar of a lack of professionalism, and it's easy to see why the chance to go away with the national team might feel like a welcome break for Mbappe.

Meanwhile, PSG's dressing room has reportedly divided into two distinct cliques following their recent run of poor results.

According to RMC Sport, two camps have materialised inside the squad - one including all South American stars and another including those that speak French. 

Quotes attributed to someone close to the squad suggested that the tension between the two factions 'blew up a bit' as a result of their chastening defeat at the Stade Louis-II. 

One further development was the revelation that no player took the opportunity in the aftermath of defeat to address the issues the team had come up against on the field.

According to the report, not one player attempted to start an inquisition into the heavy 3-0 defeat in Monaco, with silence prevailing in the changing room and on the trip back to the French capital.  

One issue picked up on to illustrate the lack of unity within the squad was the difference in attitude shown by players when certain individuals are fouled on the pitch.

The difference on Sunday between the reaction of team-mates when Neymar was fouled - an action that resulted in several players surrounding the officials - compared to when, for example, Achraf Hakimi was fouled, was notable. 

It is reported that Hakimi has a strong relationship with Mbappe.
