Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe insisted Sunday he has “never asked to leave” the Qatar-owned club in the January transfer window despite reports that he intended to seek a move as soon as possible.  

“I am very happy. I have never asked to leave in January,” he said after PSG’s 1-0 win over Marseille, insisting that he was not “implicated directly or indirectly” in the rumours about his future that spread this week.
