French striker Kylian Mbappé came out today as “very happy” at Paris Saint-Germain, denying having asked to be transferred in January 2023, after the French football champions won 1-0 against Marseille.
“I am very happy”, began by saying Mbappé, four days after his desire to leave the club was reported, before the reception to Benfica (1-1), for the Champions League, denying his involvement in this information.
Mbappé said he did not understand “the information released” on the day of the game, admitting he was “shocked” by its disclosure.
“I never asked to leave in January. People may think I’m involved, but I’m not at all”, he concluded, in the mixed zone of the Parc des Princes, after the ‘big’ game of the 11th round of Ligue 1.
Paris Saint-Germain cemented its leadership of the championship, adding 29 points, three more than Lorient, which this day did not go beyond a 0-0 draw at home to Stade Reims, while Marseille remains in fourth place, with 23.
