The oscillating relationship between Kylian Mbappé and Neymar offered a new episode in the PSG world. Jérome Rothen, a former French footballer who played for the Parisian club, is now a columnist and has always been close to Kylian Mbappé, defended his compatriot and fired against the Brazilian.
For Rothen, Mbappé never asked the club's leaders to sell Neymar. "Mbappé, he didn't ask for anything. The thing is clear and it's not me who says so, it came out, it's like this…”. According to Rothen, the Brazilian attacker had no offers to leave in the last transfer window. In the beginning of the season 'Ney' had an outstanding performance with seven goals.

However, Rothen's points out that "Mbappé wanted a different sporting project and that's why it took him a long time to extend hid deal. The Qataris (PSG owners) sold him a project without Neymar because they didn't want to keep him for some reasons”.
“After fifteen days of preparation Neymar had no offers, because nobody wanted him even for a loan. Neymar put himself in optimal conditions to be physically up for the World Cup and also to be on a good form on the pitch…".
