Mbappe urges Neymar to remain at PSG
Paris Saint-Germain star, Kylian Mbappe, has urged fellow teammate and troubled Brazilian hitman, Neymar, to remain with the French side.
The World Cup winner gave the advice on Friday as he apologised for sparking speculation about his own future at the club.
Mbappe, speaking before the Champions Trophy against Rennes in Shenzhen, China, said Neymar was a key player for the French league-winners who are desperate for success in Europe next season.
“Everyone loves him and I love him so much,” Mbappe said of Neymar, who has been linked with a return to his former club Barcelona.
“I don’t want him to leave the team, obviously. I want him to stay. When you think about his situation and then he plays very well and he co-operates with the team you can see what he means to us,” Mbappe said.
“I think it wasn’t the right place (to say that),” he told reporters in the southern Chinese city. “I’d like to say sorry to the players who were there because I spoiled the party.” (AFP)
