Striker Kylian Mbappe says he “never asked to leave” Paris St-Germain amid reports he wanted a move away from the French capital in January.
The 23-year-old France international signed a new three-year deal with the club in May.
Mbappe, a 2018 World Cup winner, had previously been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid.
“I am very happy,” Mbappe said after setting up Neymar’s winner in the 1-0 win over Marseille on Sunday.
“I have never asked to leave in January.”
Reports that Mbappe wanted to leave the club surfaced ahead of PSG’s Champions League match against Benfica on Tuesday.
“I didn’t understand why the story came out on the day of a game. I was as shocked as everyone,” Mbappe claimed.
“People can think I was involved but I wasn’t at all.”
