Liverpool continue chase for 23-year-old Ligue 1 attacker
Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos has denied reports suggesting that Kylian Mbappe has requested to depart from the club in January.
The 23-year-old seemingly ended rumours over a potential move to either Liverpool or Real Madrid by signing a new three-year contract with the Ligue 1 giants in May until the summer of 2025.
Mbappe has since made a prolific start to the new campaign, scoring 12 goals in 13 games across all competitions, but the France international is believed to be unhappy at the Parc des Princes.
A recent report reports that the Mbappe’s relationship with PSG is ‘completely broken’ and the attacker will push for an exit in the winter transfer window.
The Frenchman allegedly feels ‘betrayed’ by French giants and has been left furious as promises made by the club’s board have not been fulfilled since he signed his new deal.
However, PSG chief Campos is surprised to hear such rumours and insists that Mbappe has not spoken to anyone about leaving the club.
Speaking to RMC Sport before PSG’s Champions League clash with Benfica on Tuesday, Campos said: “It’s a categorical denial on our part. Whether he’s happy or not, that’s a question you have to ask him. It’s a very personal question.
“I see Kylian working. Kylian is an extraordinary professional. For example, he played sick in the last match in Reims, he made the effort for the team. I see Kylian arriving with his teammates, happy every day and with a huge desire to work.
“I’m very surprised because I’m with Kylian Mbappe every day and he never asked me, and I just asked the president, he never asked to leave in January. I don’t think that he thinks about it because if he thinks about it, he’s going to tell me. He never told me, I know he never told the president, that he wants to leave in January.”
Campos added: “It is information, it’s not a statement, you have to be very clear, which comes out a few hours before a very, very important match for us. It’s important to come in front of the press and that’s why I’m here.
“We have rumours every day, it’s normal when you have three of the five most important players in the world. It’s normal to have rumours.”
When asked about whether Mbappe will stay beyond the winter window, Campos said: “In my opinion yes [he’s staying in January]. He never said anything to me. For me it’s clear that Kylian Mbappe is staying to follow his contract with PSG.”
