Champions League: PSG director breaks silence on Mbappe wanting to leave club

Paris Saint-Germain’s sporting director, Luis Campos, has debunked speculations that Kylian Mbappe has asked to leave the club in January.

Campos spoke out ahead of their Champions League clash with Benfica on Tuesday.

He was reacting to multiple reports that Mbappe feels betrayed by the Ligue 1 champions.

Speaking to Canal+, Campos said: “I am here to clearly deny, he (Mbappé) did not speak to me or to my president about leaving in January.

“This question never came up and we never talked about it. There are rumours every day, and we can’t talk about them every day.

“But this one, it is serious. Because my name is there. An impact on the locker room? No, they are experienced players. It’s not real news anyway, and it’s not going to disrupt the group.

He added: “We speak with Kylian every day, as with Neymar, Danilo, Vitinha and Verratti. All the players have their ideas and we discuss. On recruitment, we talked about it a month ago. It was very clear. And today, we work every day to be stronger.”
