Kylian Mbappe wanted to leave PSG in this summer.
The 22-year old forward was linked with a move to Real Madrid all summer but PSG sporting director Leonardo didn’t sanction a move.
Mbappe has just a year left on his contract and Real Madrid made a final offer of €200m before the transfer window ended.
Mbappe spoke to RMC Sport: “I asked to leave because from the moment I didn’t want to extend [my contract], I wanted the club to receive a transfer fee to bring in a quality replacement.
“It’s a club that’s given me a lot, I’ve always been happy during the four years I’ve been here and I still am. I said it early enough so that the club could react.
“I wanted everyone to come out of this stronger, that we leave hand in hand, to make a good deal, and I respected that. I said, if you don’t want me to leave, I will stay.
“People said that I had refused six or seven contract offers and that I no longer wanted to talk to Leonardo, but that’s absolutely not true. They told me, ‘Kylian now you talk with the president.’
