Kylian Mbappé confirmed that he asked to leave PSG in July this year: “I said it well in advance”

Of Kylian Mbappé everything has been said throughout the last months. The forward was one of the great protagonists of the recent transfer market, in which he was close to leaving PSG and becoming the new ‘galactic’ of Real Madrid. However, the transfer was frustrated and he remained with the French club until the end of his contract in June 2022.

After a long silence, the attacker confessed and provided details of how the previous weeks were with the board of ‘Les Parisiens’. From the outset, the 2018 world champion in Russia clarified that “At the end of July I said I wanted to go”, revealed on the French radio station RMC Sport.

Right away, the 22-year-old footballer said that the PSG high command knew in advance what his position was, after not reaching an agreement to extend the contract that will expire at the end of the current European course. “My position was clear. I said I wanted to leave and I said it well in advance “he explained.

Of course, Kylian pointed out that he never intended to start a fight with the French club. “I said, if they don’t want me to go I’ll stay”. However, Mbappé regretted the enormous amount of rumors that were woven around this matter, for which he felt the rejection by the fans of the institution.

“People said that I turned down six or seven renewal offers, that I don’t want to talk to Leonardo, it’s not true at all. They told me: ‘Kylian, now you talk to the president’ (Nasser Al-Khelaïfi) “added the Bondy-born, who passed through the ranks of Monaco, also in Ligue 1, before landing in the French capital.

Finally, the Paris star Saint Germain showed gratitude for everything the entity has given him since he arrived in the 2017-18 season. For this reason, Mbappé gave advance notice of the desire to leave so that the board of directors can find a solution (a replacement) in the development of the summer market in Europe.

“I asked to leave, because from the moment I did not want to renew, I wanted the club to have transfer compensation to have a quality replacement. PSG is a club that has given me a lot, I was always happy, the four years I have spent here, and I still am. I announced it well in advance so that the club could recover “, closed in the conversation with former player Jerome Rothen.
