Idrissa Gueye Net Worth And Salary

Idrissa Gana Gueye, who was born on September 26, 1989, is a Senegalese professional football player, who completed the most tackles in the Premier League in 2016–2017, and also known to be a tenacious midfielder who excels at winning the ball, and also a pressing defenders. He currently plays for both the Senegal national team and Premier League club Everton.

Gueye accompanied the PSG team on its trip to play Montpellier on the 37th matchday of the Ligue 1 season 2021–22.

His exclusion from the club roster, according to manager Mauricio Pochettino, was due to “personal reasons” rather than an injury.

This attracted media attention to Gueye, who reportedly declined to participate in the game because PSG’s uniforms featured the rainbow flag in support of the LGBT movement, a move made by Ligue 1 in honor of the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia.

RMC Sport reported that Gueye’s refusal to participate in the game was due to this. In the previous season, he had also famously missed the same game; at the time, he had gastroenteritis, which was why he wasn’t able to play.

Gueye faced criticism and demands punishment for his contentious absence against Montpellier from groups such as Rouge Direct, a group that fights homophobia, and Valérie Pécresse, the president of the Île-de-France region, among others.
