Former Paris Saint-Germain star revealed that he doesn’t have any relationship with Kylian Mbappe amid Neymar recent statement.
The alleged conflicts between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have received extensive media coverage; however, a former PSG player has since clarified that he had no such relationships.
Mbappe chose to remain at PSG at the end of the previous campaign rather than move to Real Madrid, allegedly because it provided him greater clout within the organization.
And since then, things haven’t been going particularly well for the World Cup winner, particularly in light of his relationship with Brazilian forward Neymar.
The two had to reportedly be separated in the locker room after a dispute earlier in the season over who should take a penalty for the Ligue 1 champions.
Although Neymar and Lionel Messi are willing to assist each other, Mbappe has not provided an assist for the duo this year, despite manager Christophe Galtier’s claims that there are no issues between the two.
Fans thought it was telling that Neymar refused to respond to a question about Mbappe while on duty for Brazil, and that there are now more inquiries about the French forward.

Leandro Paredes, a former PSG midfielder who joined Juventus in the summer, has asserted that he was not close to the 23-year-old.
“I’m not the right person to discuss him. I felt a connection with the people I was close to, “ESPN Argentina said Paredes.
“But I can’t tell you about the ones I didn’t have a relationship with.”
If there are any problems between Neymar and Mbappe, they may be caused by the Frenchman’s new contract, which kept him at the Parc des Princes.
When the former Monaco star signed his new deal, one of his demands, according to rumors at the time, was that Neymar be sold.
The former Barcelona player apparently had a transfer window throughout the summer and was once allegedly offered to Chelsea.
Given how effectively he’s begun this season, with the 30-year-old scoring eight goals and setting up seven more in eight league outings, that appears to have been a mistake.
Mbappe has refuted claims that he and his teammate Neymar are at odds, saying that they have been together for six years.
“We have always had a respect-based relationship like this, with occasional warmer and colder moments.
It’s just the way our connection is. As a player, he is someone I greatly respect.
“You have those times when you have two players with such big characters, but always with respect and in PSG’s best interest.”
