“I am very happy” at Paris Saint-Germain, “I never asked to leave in January”, assured Kylian Mbappé on Sunday following the victory once morest Olympique de Marseille (1-0), following four days of controversy over his supposed desire to leave. He claims to be “neither closely nor remotely involved” in the rumor which reported on Tuesday of his desire to leave for the January transfer window, released before the match once morest Benfica, he said in the mixed zone.
This “info released on the day of the match I did not understand, I was as shocked as everyone. People may think that I am involved, I am not involved at all”, he insisted.
Several concordant sources, however, ensure that the noise of a desire to leave the club where he extended in May, following very long negotiations, came from the entourage of the world champion.
“I was having a nap, my entourage was at my little brother’s game (Ethan, with PSG in the Youth League, editor’s note), no one from my entourage was there,” he insisted. “We were flabbergasted when we found out.”
