His word on social networks is rather rare, especially when it comes to discussing information related to the transfer window. However, Thursday evening, Kylian Mbappé took the trouble to go on Twitter to respond to an English transfer info aggregation site: SportBible. The latter took up information from the Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo according to which the PSG striker, who has just extended his 3-year contract in Paris, has drawn up a “black list” of players to leave the club, with at the top of the list Neymar, but also coach Mauricio Pochettino.
“FAKE” (ndr: It’s wrong in English) simply replied Mbappé, in a tweet that quickly became viral. In the aftermath, Sport Bible decided to delete his original tweet in which he was promoting his article.
The Mundo Deportivo article obviously follows questions about the role that Kylian Mbappé will have within PSG after his contract extension. At a press conference, the star striker was then amused: “I remain a football player and I will not go beyond this function”, he explained.
Currently training with the France team in Clairefontaine, Kylian Mbappé will start with the Blues on Friday evening during the League of Nations match against Denmark.
