PARIS - Kylian Mbappe has never expressed an interest in leaving Paris Saint-Germain in January, the club's sporting director Luis Campos said Tuesday, stepping ...

"It's not a statement from the player, it's [the press], and to have such information before a match like this is very serious. 'It's not a statement from the player, it's [the press], and to have such information before a match like this is very serious.'

Reports that the French striker would leave the club in January emerged hours before Tuesday's Champions League draw with Benfica.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier said rumours about Kylian Mbappe's future did not disrupt his team's preparations for Tuesday's Champions ...

“Who does this rumour help? Who is it useful to? “All I know is that a rumour became a story and then that almost became a declaration.

Kylian Mbappe, one of football's brightest stars, has risen to the very top of the game but all is not well at PSG as the French forward feels "betrayed" ...

The players could be seen debating who should take the penalty on the field, with Mbappe looking visibly frustrated for the rest of the match. The club shipped off Thilo Kehrer and Alphonse Areola to West Ham before a late deal sent Julian Draxler to Benfica. Liverpool managed to exit the summer transfer window with a net spend of just around €10 million, meaning the Reds could have money to spend if Mbappe were to become available. [Julien Laurens of ESPN](https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4767566/kylian-mbappe-seeks-psg-exit-in-january-amid-broken-relationship-with-club-sources), one of the promises PSG made was to have Mbappe play alongside a true No. Neymar then 'liked' a post on Twitter that criticized Mbappe for his actions during the on-field penalty incident. Liverpool sit 10th in the Premier League table, with a litany of injuries and defensive frailties also to blame. Jan Aage Fjortoft, the former Norway international who is now a journalist and broadcaster, believes it is a matter of time until Mbappe joins Madrid. The report states that at 23 years old, Mbappe is the youngest player to earn over $100m in a year, something that took both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi until their 30s to accomplish. If all quiets down and he stays at PSG this winter, Madrid could again be the favorites for Mbappe's next club. He was also reportedly given influence in the club's transfer business as well as coaching decisions, but that was refuted by Mbappe and his camp. This year, having signed a new contract at the Parisian club, Mbappe had seemed poised to lead a revived Lionel Messi and Neymar to make PSG genuine contenders for Europe's top prize. The club has signed multiple superstars at gargantuan wages in pursuit of their goal of becoming champions of Europe.

Paris Saint-Germain would be willing to sell Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool, but only if they can deprive the Reds of a big name in return, it's been claimed.

For now, Liverpool will be waiting to see if they can get anything better out of Salah. The Premier League side would be regenerating their attack for years to come. [If Mahmoud is to be believed](https://twitter.com/ismaeelmahmoudd/status/1579824843033575424), the 30-year-old would be Paris Saint-Germain’s top target to replace Mbappe.

There have been various reports casting doubt on his happiness at Paris Saint-Germain, despite him only signing a contract extension with them in the summer.

Kylian Mbappe pushed past the outside noise to score for Paris Saint-Germain in a 1-1 draw with Benfica on Tuesday.

The goal made Mbappe the club's all-time top scorer in the Champions League, but his goal & the lead it gave PSG did not translate into a positive second-half performance.

Kylian Mbappe will remain a Paris Saint-Germain player after the January transfer window; Mbappe remains unhappy at the club as a result of last summers ...

"It's a difficult situation for him because there are very few clubs who could put across the package that PSG would want and then he personally would want. He's not happy about that and some of the transfer business. Mbappe is playing centre-forward and that's not what he wanted to do. He's being asked to play as a central striker and he doesn't like the tactics the new head coach Christophe Galtier is using. "Part of it was that he thought Neymar was going to leave the club in the summer and the opposite has happened: he's playing well and scoring and making goals alongside Lionel Messi. PSG sources believe the stories about Mbappe are coming out of Spain and are intended to destabilise PSG.

Kylian Mbappe has reportedly been attacked by social media accounts contracted by Paris Saint-Germain to speak out against their perceived rivals.

We need a response on the pitch,” the Paname account again tweeted. A few months before, the French international had earlier ruled out joining Real Madrid on the French television show Telefoot. “The Parisian supporters love you very much, you know that. 'If the boss asks you to do something, you do it' - Henry critical of Mbappe attitude Earlier this week it was widely reported that Mbappe had a change of heart over his commitment to PSG, which saw him sign a new contract in the summer when many had anticipated a switch to Real Madrid. It is not known if that development is linked to the claim made in this new report, but it is also believed that the Frenchman’s chances of signing with Real are slim after they had anticipated his arrival last summer, only to be turned down.

Mbappe is supposed to be the brilliant young cornerstone of PSG's dominance and yet, just 143 days after signing a new deal, he wants out. Why?

He sees it at training and in matches, and he doesn't believe a quick fix is possible. Mbappe was told that Neymar would be sold in the summer, yet he is still there and thriving in the position Mbappe thought would be his own. The lack of depth at the back is a worry. Against Benfica, we saw some of the limitations of his PSG team, especially in defensive transitions. [Milan Skriniar](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/175195/Milan-Skriniar) was the target all summer, but he never came, and now PSG are arguably weak in the heart of defense following the injury to [Presnel Kimpembe](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/207015/Presnel-Kimpembe) and the red card to [Sergio Ramos](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/41579/Sergio-Ramos) last weekend at Reims. He was the focus of all the pregame talk, all the TV shows, all the radio shows and all the newspaper columns, and he was a major topic on social media. They tried for [Robert Lewandowski](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/125824/Robert-Lewandowski) (who joined [Barcelona](/soccer/team?id=83) instead), [Gianluca Scamacca](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/233140/Gianluca-Scamacca) (who joined West Ham) and even [Marcus Rashford](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/230945/Marcus-Rashford), but failed every time. They used to be friends, but their contrasting trajectories -- Mbappe is very much on the rise given his profile, while Neymar is winding down and arguably entering the final years of his career -- mean they have grown apart. The world was watching, and to be fair, they had been since he got off the [Paris Saint-Germain](/soccer/team?id=160) team bus with [Achraf Hakimi](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/240233/Achraf-Hakimi), his friend and teammate, almost four hours earlier. The Frenchman is also playing a position -- lone striker -- that he doesn't like. He wants to be paired with a second striker, to have more freedom by playing off a more conventional No. He feels betrayed by all the promises made, but not kept, by PSG when he extended his contract.
