He wanted to make things clear. Asked in the mixed zone after the Parisian success against Marseille (1-0), Sunday October 16, Kylian Mbappé denied the rumors of a departure from PSG this winter. “I never asked for my departure in January, it’s completely false”, said the French international. This statement comes as rumors of departure circulated on Tuesday before the match against Benfica.
“I am very happy”continued the French striker in the corridors of the Parc des Princes,”The news came out on the day of the match (against Benfica, editor’s note), I didn’t understand”.
“I’m not directly or indirectly involved in this news. I was just as shocked as everyone else. People may think I’m involved but I was napping.”
And to continue: “My entourage was at my little brother’s game, all the people who take care of me were not there so we were flabbergasted when we heard about it”. This concludes, for the moment, the new episode of the soap opera.
The 2018 world champion also took the time to come back to Mediapart’s revelations about PSG’s “digital army”. “I am a football player, the most important thing for me is to play and give my best on the pitch. If I start spreading myself too thin, I will get tired very quickly”, he swept away.
“When you play at PSG, you know what you’re getting into, what it’s going to involve for good and for bad. You have to be ready.”
“Those who come here know, we warn them. We are in the middle of it at the moment but we are focused on winning games and titles”, concluded the Parisian, decisive passer on the only goal of the evening against OM. This should reassure PSG supporters, who will sleep soundly after the victory in the Classic.
