Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star footballer Kylian Mbappe insisted on Sunday he has "never asked to leave" the Qatar-owned club in the January transfer window despite reports that he intended to seek a move as soon as possible.
"I am very happy. I have never asked to leave in January," he said after PSG's 1-0 win over Marseille, insisting that he was not "implicated directly or indirectly" in the rumours about his future that spread this week, reports BSS.
It is the first time the France superstar has spoken out publicly since the reports that he wished to leave first surfaced in Spain ahead of Tuesday's Champions League game against Benfica.The rumours were later also reported by various French media.
“I didn't understand why the story came out on the day of a game. I was as shocked as everyone,” Mbappe claimed.
“People can think I was involved but I wasn't at all,” he added.
