It will therefore have been necessary to wait more than four days for Kylian Mbappé to come and extinguish the fire that his clan seems to have started last Tuesday. The PSG star striker, author of his first assist of the season for Neymar in the classic against OM, came to give his point of view on the controversy around his supposed desire to leave PSG.
“I am very happy”
“I never asked for my departure in January”, assured Kylian Mbappé. In front of a few journalists in the mixed zone, the star striker of PSG claims to be “involved neither near nor far” in the rumor which reported on Tuesday of his desire to leave for the January transfer window, released before the match against Benfica, he said.
This “info released the day of the match I did not understand, I was as shocked as everyone. People can think that I am involved, I am not involved at all”, he insisted. Several concordant sources, however, ensure that the sound of a desire to leave the club where he extended in May, after very long negotiations, came from the entourage of the world champion. “I was at a siesta, my entourage was at my little brother’s game (Ethan, with PSG in the Youth League, editor’s note), no one around me was there”, he insisted. “We fell from the clouds when we learned about it”
