"Mbappe has never told me or Nasser Al Khelaifi he wants to leave PSG in January," Campos said in the interview. The players could be seen debating who should take the penalty on the field, with Mbappe looking visibly frustrated for the rest of the match. Liverpool managed to exit the summer transfer window with a net spend of just around €10 million, meaning the Reds could have money to spend if Mbappe were to become available. [Julien Laurens of ESPN](https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4767566/kylian-mbappe-seeks-psg-exit-in-january-amid-broken-relationship-with-club-sources), one of the promises PSG made was to have Mbappe play alongside a true No. The club shipped off Thilo Kehrer and Alphonse Areola to West Ham before a late deal sent Julian Draxler to Benfica. Liverpool sit 10th in the Premier League table, with a litany of injuries and defensive frailties also to blame. Jan Aage Fjortoft, the former Norway international who is now a journalist and broadcaster, believes it is a matter of time until Mbappe joins Madrid. The report states that at 23 years old, Mbappe is the youngest player to earn over $100m in a year, something that took both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi until their 30s to accomplish. If all quiets down and he stays at PSG this winter, Madrid could again be the favorites for Mbappe's next club. He was also reportedly given influence in the club's transfer business as well as coaching decisions, but that was refuted by Mbappe and his camp. This year, having signed a new contract at the Parisian club, Mbappe had seemed poised to lead a revived Lionel Messi and Neymar to make PSG genuine contenders for Europe's top prize. The club has signed multiple superstars at gargantuan wages in pursuit of their goal of becoming champions of Europe.

La prise de parole de Campos, quelques minutes avant la réception du Benfica Lisbonne au Parc des Princes (21 h), était très attendue alors que le club parisien bruissait depuis plusieurs heures d’une folle rumeur, celle d’une lassitude de Mbappé vis-à-vis de ses dirigeants, cinq mois seulement après sa prolongation de contrat en grande pompe alors qu’il était ouvertement convoité par le Real Madrid. (Paris) L’attaquant vedette du Paris Saint-Germain, Kylian Mbappé, auquel plusieurs médias prêtent des envies d’ailleurs, « n’a jamais parlé de quitter le PSG en janvier », a assuré mardi soir le conseiller football du club parisien, Luis Campos, jugeant ces informations « très graves » avant un choc européen crucial contre Benfica.

Il sera par ailleurs intéressant de voir si, six mois après l'affront de sa prolongation au PSG, le Real Madrid tentera sa chance pour recruter Kylian Mbappé au mercato hivernal. Reste maintenant à voir si le Paris SG ouvrira bel et bien la porte à un départ de Kylian Mbappé en cours de saison, ce qui parait tout de même très étonnant.

Le Paris-Saint-Germain reçoit le Benfica Lisbonne, mardi, pour son quatrième match de Ligue des champions cette saison.
Ce n'est pas pour tout de suite. Paris va encore devoir travailler pour valider sa qualification pour la phase à élimination directe de la Ligue des champions. S'ils restent co-leaders du groupe, ils enchaînent un troisième match nul consécutif toutes compétitions confondues, dans un contexte alourdi par les discussions autour d'un départ de Kylian Mbappé cet hiver.
LIGUE DES CHAMPIONS - Alors qu'il aurait pu assurer sa qualification pour les 8es de finale dès ce mardi, Paris devra patienter.
Une fois encore insuffisant, pour ne pas dire inquiétant, le PSG devra patienter pour connaître son sort en Ligue des champions. Malheureusement, sans réel liant collectif, il n’a pas su trouver ce rebond qui lui aurait permis de signer une victoire, même si Mbappé est passé tout près d'un doublé sur un joli retourné acrobatique gâché par une position de hors-jeu (86e). On s’attendait à ce que le spécialiste Neymar s’en charge mais, cette fois, la hiérarchie a été respectée. Sans Lionel Messi, qui soigne une cheville, le PSG s’en est remis, offensivement, aux accélérations souvent vaines de Kylian Mbappé et aux quelques différences faites par Neymar, qui a obtenu beaucoup de coups de sifflet. Ce but n’était ni mérité ni immérité, tant on s’est beaucoup ennuyé devant ce premier acte où personne n’a osé prendre le dessus. Il faudra d’ailleurs surveiller l’état de la cheville de l’attaquant français, qui pourrait être forfait pour le choc face à l’OM programmé dimanche.

[proved](https://defector.com/paris-belongs-to-kylian-mbappe/) that he could be the best player on the team and probably even the best player in the world. But it would be just as hard not to admit that Neymar (nine goals and nine assists in 14 matches) and Messi (seven goals and eight assists in 12), empowered in their favored positions, have been the real drivers of PSG’s efforts this season. Should PSG stick to its usual stubbornness, Mbappé could soon discover that the biggest impediment to the realization of his career aspirations isn’t Neymar, but is in fact PSG itself—a team built expressly by and for him, but one he still hasn’t been able to claim full ownership of. That makes the prospect of Mbappé leaving Paris in January or even next summer a highly dubious proposition. It would be hard to argue that Mbappé is being misused at PSG this season, seeing as he’s scored 12 goals in 13 games so far across Ligue 1 and the Champions League. They report that the player feels “betrayed” by the club for how it failed to adhere to the promises it made him as a condition on his extending his contract: principally, promises in the transfer market, his playing position, and his role as the leader and most important piece of the club’s project. The seeds of the present discontentment can be found both in that contract and in PSG’s success this year. His joining PSG—which itself, according to reports, was done at the behest of Mbappé—was supposed to signal a new day at the club as it distanced itself from its showy but poorly considered team-building strategies to adopt a more coherent plan. Campos is one of the most respected soccer executives in Europe and has close ties with Mbappé going back to their time together at Monaco. Le Parisien also reports that Luís Campos, who signed with PSG this summer as the club’s sporting director, is also close to leaving the club. [quite a few](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/27/sports/soccer/kylian-mbappe-psg-contract.html) dollars) why Kylian Mbappé chose to re-sign with Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season. But right when Mbappé could’ve escaped PSG’s golden cage by joining Madrid on a free transfer, he instead decided to stay in Paris, no doubt hoping that the club’s financial commitment and its many promises that he would be the team’s focal star going forward would earn him the status he desired without forcing him to leave home.
