The Paris Saint-Germain forward remains unhappy with how he was treated over the summer.
Kylian Mbappe has claimed the French national team made him feel like a "problem" in the aftermath of Euro 2020 and admitted that he "would have liked" more support from team-mates after his missed penalty sealed their tournament exit.
Les Bleus were sent home by Switzerland through a shootout in the last-16 - a shocking development after they had won the 2018 World Cup.
Mbappe has been busy in the press this week having also taken aim at Paris Saint-Germain for preventing his summer move to Real Madrid.
What has been said?
In an extensive interview published in L'Equipe, Mbappe said: "I have never taken a single euro to play for the French national team and I will always play for my national team for free. Above all, I never wanted to be problem.
"But from the moment where I felt like that I was starting to become a problem and that people felt I was a problem... I received the message, that my ego was what made us lose, that I wanted to take up too much space, and that without me, therefore, we might have won.
"The most important thing is the French national team and if the French national team is happier without me, [I'll go].
"I met with the president (Noel Le Graet) and we talked about it. What I went to complain to him about was that I was insulted and called a 'monkey' for missing a penalty. That is not the same thing. I will never complain about a penalty. The penalty, I was the one who missed it."
