But ahead of their clash against Marseille over the weekend, Galtier denied that the atmosphere is negative in the PSG dressing room and accused the media of misrepresentation, via Marca.

"Whatever I say, you never believe me, you write the opposite of what I say. I tell you that everything is going well, that they are in solidarity and you say the opposite. I'm not here to comment on rumours," he said.
"Of course we don't kiss every day in the dressing room, it's normal, but I can tell you that this atmosphere is much better than in other places and that it's better than what you say and can imagine."

PSG's promises to Mbappe revealed

Mbappe was on the verge of signing for Real Madrid in the summer but he was reportedly promised 'heaven and earth; before he changed his mind to renew his contract for three years.

However, reports suggest that Mbappe's decision to leave the club is born out of the inability of the top brass of PSG to honour their promises leading to the former AS Monaco forward pushing for an exit.

Sports Brief has listed the supposedly promises made and broken by PSG, per Spanish journalist Carlos Capio, cited by Tribuna.
