PSG

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos has denied claims that Kylian Mbappe has asked to leave the club in January.

The 23-year-old has a contract with his current club until 2025, which they expect him to honour at least. And today, we work every day to be stronger." He added: "We speak with Kylian every day, as with Neymar, Danilo, Vitinha and Verratti.

Paris Saint-Germain would be willing to sell Kylian Mbappe to Liverpool, but only if they can deprive the Reds of a big name in return, it's been claimed.

For now, Liverpool will be waiting to see if they can get anything better out of Salah. The Premier League side would be regenerating their attack for years to come. [If Mahmoud is to be believed](https://twitter.com/ismaeelmahmoudd/status/1579824843033575424), the 30-year-old would be Paris Saint-Germain’s top target to replace Mbappe.

There have been various reports casting doubt on his happiness at Paris Saint-Germain, despite him only signing a contract extension with them in the summer.

Mbappe is supposed to be the brilliant young cornerstone of PSG's dominance and yet, just 143 days after signing a new deal, he wants out. Why?

He sees it at training and in matches, and he doesn't believe a quick fix is possible. Mbappe was told that Neymar would be sold in the summer, yet he is still there and thriving in the position Mbappe thought would be his own. The lack of depth at the back is a worry. Against Benfica, we saw some of the limitations of his PSG team, especially in defensive transitions. [Milan Skriniar](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/175195/Milan-Skriniar) was the target all summer, but he never came, and now PSG are arguably weak in the heart of defense following the injury to [Presnel Kimpembe](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/207015/Presnel-Kimpembe) and the red card to [Sergio Ramos](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/41579/Sergio-Ramos) last weekend at Reims. He was the focus of all the pregame talk, all the TV shows, all the radio shows and all the newspaper columns, and he was a major topic on social media. They tried for [Robert Lewandowski](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/125824/Robert-Lewandowski) (who joined [Barcelona](/soccer/team?id=83) instead), [Gianluca Scamacca](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/233140/Gianluca-Scamacca) (who joined West Ham) and even [Marcus Rashford](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/230945/Marcus-Rashford), but failed every time. They used to be friends, but their contrasting trajectories -- Mbappe is very much on the rise given his profile, while Neymar is winding down and arguably entering the final years of his career -- mean they have grown apart. The world was watching, and to be fair, they had been since he got off the [Paris Saint-Germain](/soccer/team?id=160) team bus with [Achraf Hakimi](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/240233/Achraf-Hakimi), his friend and teammate, almost four hours earlier. The Frenchman is also playing a position -- lone striker -- that he doesn't like. He wants to be paired with a second striker, to have more freedom by playing off a more conventional No. He feels betrayed by all the promises made, but not kept, by PSG when he extended his contract.

A multimillion-dollar dispute between the Spanish league and its Qatari broadcast partner, beIN Media Group, is the latest flare-up in the battle between ...

The latest court fight will do little to lower the temperature, and it is not over. “People in football are cowards,” Tebas said Wednesday, explaining why others have not been as outspoken as he has about the market-altering influence of teams like P.S.G. paid the French star Kylian Mbappé a signing-on fee of more than $100 million to reject the overtures of Real Madrid. What is uncommon is the lengths La Liga has gone to ensure it receives the money it says it is owed. But it also will shine a spotlight on the influence of al-Khelaifi, whose simultaneous roles as the chairman of P.S.G. “If we ran our operations reacting to certain executive’s comments on others within the sports industry, we wouldn’t be in business,” the company said. “He knows exactly what he is doing,” Tebas said of al-Khelaifi. But the company said it would not discuss its private, contractual discussions with La Liga or any rights-holder, adding, “That is not how business should be conducted, certainly not by professional and dignified institutions.” The beIN spokesman said 10 million euros of the debt had been repaid on Oct. BeIN Media Group learned about the case, and the order freezing its assets, from a New York Times reporter. president, Nasser al-Khelaifi, would [respond](https://www.marca.com/en/football/psg/2022/05/23/628bc1b746163f1a898b4585.html) to Tebas with his own accusations, questioning the health of Spanish soccer, or trade barbs with him in the news media and in speeches. But according to a court document reviewed by The New York Times, the network had so far failed to pay more than 50 million euros it owed the Spanish league for this season’s games.
