Forward Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain has refuted rumors that he plans to leave the team in January.
The 24-year-old claimed that he was shocked by the information.
“I never requested to leave in January.
“I didn’t grasp the information that was released on the day of the [Champions League match against Benfica]. After PSG’s 1-0 victory over Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday, Mbappe told reporters: “I am not involved in this information, neither directly nor indirectly.
It was alleged that Mbappe wanted to leave the Ligue 1 champions as soon as possible because he felt “betrayed” by PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
