  • Multiple reports indicate the 23-year-old's decision to leave the club is born out of the inability of the top brass of PSG to honour their promises

Paris Saint-Germain director Luis Campos has responded to the widespread reports of Kylian Mbappé's intention to quit the club.

News of Mbappé's intention to leave PSG was greeted with great shock across the football landscape when the exit stories spread out like wildfire on the internet on Tuesday, October 11.

Despite the rapid reports of Kylian's 'broken relationship' with the top executives, the 2018 World Cup winner braved the odds to etch his name in the history of the club, as noted by Opta Jean.

His solitary strike from the penalty spot against Benfica on Tuesday night ensured he surpassed Edinson Cavani to become PSG's all-time top scorer in the history of the UEFA Champions League.

Reacting to reports of Mbappe's supposed decision to quit PSG in January, just five months after he renewed his deal with Les Parisiens, director Campos reckoned the reports were invalid.

"Mbappé has never told me about his intention to leave in January. We speak with him, Messi, Ney… we’re very happy to be here." He told Canal Plus as quoted by Mirror.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that legendary France forward Thierry Henry has torn into Kylian Mbappe after reports suggested the Paris Saint-Germain forward is unhappy about the role he is playing in.

Mbappe, 23, has bagged 12 goals in all competitions for the Ligue 1 champions this season but his attitude has continued to be the subject of discussion in recent weeks.

Mbappe had taken to social media to blast Christophe Galtier’s style of using him in the middle of PSG’s three-man attacking set-up in the aftermath of the goalless draw against Reims last weekend.
