Hakimi denies what is being circulated about the future of his colleague Kylian Mbappe with Paris Saint-Germain.
Kylian Mbappe made headlines after the Spanish newspaper “Marca” detonated a bomb about the player’s request to leave the club during the winter transfer market.
Mbappe renewed his contract with the French club last summer until the summer of 2025, but he feels angry and betrayed for not meeting his demands according to the agreement before the renewal, according to the Spanish report.
The French international striker participated yesterday with his team against Benfica in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, and scored the only goal of Paris in the match from the penalty mark, to end the match with a tie for the two teams with one goal for the same.
What did Hakimi say about Mbappe’s future?
Although all indications confirm Mbappe’s desire to leave, his colleague Hakimi denies the player’s feeling of discomfort with Paris.
Speaking to France’s Radio Monte Carlo after the match, the Moroccan full-back said: “We always talk about this kind of thing. I saw Kilian focusing on the match and the club. We didn’t talk about it. The press is the one who takes things out of context.”
“He’s focused on the club, he’s happy here, I see him happy and I think that’s the most important thing.”
It is noteworthy that Mbappe opened the scoring with a penalty kick in the 39th minute, before Joao Mario returned the match to the equalizing point in the 62nd minute with a goal for Benfica from the penalty mark as well.
