Because they want Mbappe to be the poster boy for the club. He has the perfect marketing potential for them - a Parisien playing for the city's biggest club, one of the best players in the world and young.

Ah, okay. Your link was to the /c/formula1@lemmy.ml on your post, not the /c/football community, so was confused.
Ah, can't believe I did that, I was just looking around for other communities lol. Will edit it so it's correct.
Could it be a setting on the lemm.ee instance that makes it possible to subscribe, but not interact with lemmy.world communities?
I don't think they have anything on their sidebar that says they're preventing lemm.ee subscribers from interacting with lemmy.world.
I'm talking about this !football community on lemmy.world. Apart from my "pending subscription" to one of the lemmy.ml communities on my lemm.ee account, I can load content on the others. It's just https://lemmy.world/c/football that doesn't load anything for some reason.
Walker is wanted by both sides (City would probably not mind keeping him but would also be happy with letting him go out of respect), whereas Cancelo is not wanted by City and Bayern doesn't want to pay the fee that City wants.
While he has made it known that he isn't happy with his reduced minutes, Walker has got his head down and stepped up when Pep needed him. Cancelo on the other hand, has kicked up so much fuss to the point where he doesn't have a future at City after being the defender that played the most. Pretty different situations here I would say.
