Multiple reports suggested that Kylian Mbappe is looking for a way out of PSG in the upcoming winter transfer window.
Kylian Mbappe has never shown interest in leaving Paris Saint-Germain in January, the club’s sporting director Luis Campos said on Tuesday, adding to the whirlwind of rumors about the star striker.
“I’m with Kylian Mbappe every day, he never talked to me about leaving in January,” Campos told French TV station Canal Plus ahead of the start of the Champions League game against Benfica in Paris.
A win would see PSG three points clear at the top of the group with two rounds left to play.
The 23-year-old France striker turned down a move to Real Madrid in the summer and opted to stay in Paris, signing a lucrative contract extension with the French champions.
But so far this season his form has been poor.
Campos dismissed the suggestion that the player was unstable.
“It is not a player statement, it is (from the press), and it is very serious to have information like this before a match like this. That’s why I am here, to deny and to state frankly that Kylian Mbappe never spoke to me or the President (Nasser al-Khelai) to leave PSG in January.
After PSG persuaded Mbappe to stay, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez said the player was left “confused” as he was put under “political and economic pressure”.
