Paris Saint-Germain’s de-facto sporting director, Luis Campos, has denied claims that Kylian Mbappe has asked to leave the club in January. PSG’s football advisor spoke out ahead of their Champions League clash with Benfica on Tuesday, following multiple reports that Mbappe wishes to leave the club in the January transfer window.
Speaking to the press, 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 rumors every day, and we can’t talk about them every day. But this one 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.”
Campos further 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.”
