Speaking after PSG's narrow win against fierce rivals Marseille, the former AS Monaco prodigy revealed he has never asked to leave and even confirmed his commitment to the club.

"I'm very happy. I never asked for my departure in January," he told RMC Sport. "The info that came out on the day of the match [against Benfica], I didn't understand. I was just as shocked as everyone else. There are people who may think I'm involved in this, but I'm not involved. I was taking a nap."

"My entourage was at my little brother's game; all the people who take care of me weren't there so we were flabbergasted when we heard about it. Afterwards, we had to deal with it, there was a game to play. Just to say that it is completely wrong and I am very happy."
