Kylian Mbappé did want to leave PSG in July, talks about his relationship with Leonardo and club president | French League

Kylian Mbappé was uncovered and lit the fire in Paris Saint Germain. The French forward, star of PSG, confessed that he asked the Parisian club leadership to let him leave the team last July so that he could pay compensation for his transfer and thus do a favor to a club that has “contributed a lot” .

In an interview with the radio ‘RMC Sport’, Mbappé assured that “I asked to leave because at the moment I did not want to renew, I wanted the club to have a transfer compensation to have a quality replacement.”

In addition, he revealed that his request to leave was in July, and not in August as PSG spokesmen stated. “I said I wanted to go and I said it pretty early. I personally didn’t like it too much when they said ‘he came the last week of August’, because you look like a thief. I said at the end of July that I wanted to go, ”said the forward, who will soon be 23 years old.

Mbappé assures that he wanted to leave PSG on good terms and that both he and the club had a benefit. “It is a club that has contributed a lot to me, I have always been happy, the four years I have spent here, and I still am (…) I wanted everyone to benefit, that we end up shaking hands, that we find a good I agree and I respected it. I told them: ‘if you don’t want me to go, I’ll stay,’ “he added.

According to the excerpts released by the radio’s website, the player denies some information that has been published about his contacts with the PSG management and his bad relationship with the sports director, Leonardo. “I heard people say that I rejected six or seven renewal offers, that I didn’t want to talk to Leonardo anymore, it’s not true. They told me ‘Kylian, from now on you talk to the president,’ ”said the footballer, who claims to be unaware of the reason why the sports director stopped being his interlocutor.

The player, whose contract ends at the end of this season, which allows him to sign with another club from next January, was about to leave for Real Madrid last summer. Madrid put on the table an offer of 180 million euros, similar to what PSG paid Monaco for Mbappé in 2017, but the Qatari owners of the French club rejected it.
