PSG Transfer News: Kylian Mbappe Dimisses Neymar Exit Rumours

Matt JonesApr 1, 2018

Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has dismissed rumours that his team-mate Neymar may be on the move at the end of the season.

Mbappe and Neymar both arrived at the Ligue 1 club in the summer as part of a spectacular recruitment drive, and although they've shone for PSG so far, there has been some speculation linking the latter with a potential exit.

However, when asked about the prospect of the Brazilian ending his stay in Paris after just one year, Mbappe was adamant his fellow forward would be going nowhere, per Telefoot (h/t Get French Football News):

According to Miguel Delaney of The Independent, Real Madrid will push to sign Neymar from PSG at the end of the campaign, just a year on from his world-record move from Barcelona.

Delaney said Los Blancos are planning a major overhaul of their squad this summer, and a number of key men could depart, including Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema. Neymar would potentially be the man to trigger a new era at the Santiago Bernabeu.

As relayed below, there has also been speculation emerging that Neymar wants a salary increase to remain at the Parc des Princes:

For all the talk about Neymar potentially curtailing his spell in Paris, on the field, he's been magnificent for the Ligue 1 leaders.

The 26-year-old has played 30 games in all competitions for the Parisians so far this season. In that time he's totted up an incredible 28 goals and 16 assists, although unfortunately for Neymar, when he does return, it'll be to a PSG side eliminated from the Champions League by Madrid.

Goal UK reminded us of some of his best moments in his new club colours already:

While he's not been as spectacular as Neymar, Mbappe has also shone at PSG so far and was named as man of the match after setting up two goals in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue on Saturday.

As we can see, he was pretty pleased to pick up the accolade following the 3-0 win over former club Monaco:

If PSG were to sell Neymar, then the likes of Mbappe and Edinson Cavani would ensure the team remained extremely potent in front of goal. 

For Mbappe, training and playing alongside someone like Neymar must be a joy, so him moving on would be disappointing from that perspective. But in the eyes of the 19-year-old, there doesn't appear to be any real danger of his team-mate going elsewhere.
