Angry PSG chief hits out at "completely fake" Neymar and Kylian Mbappe rumours

Paris Saint-Germain chief Luis Campos has labelled claims that Kylian Mbappe wanted the French giants to sell Neymar this summer as "fake" having given a furious response to rumours over the pairs' uneasy relationship.

The Portuguese executive was appointed at the Parc des Princes earlier this summer and had a big job on his hands, with plenty of work to do. Mbappe’s future with the club looked in huge doubt - the World Cup winner’s contract previously expiring in the summer and Real Madrid chasing his signature. Meanwhile, Neymar was reportedly unhappy at the club and was looking to quit this summer amid rumours over moves to Manchester United and Chelsea.

In the end, Campos convinced Mbappe to pen a new deal in the French capital, with some reports suggesting that he was set to be handed the opportunity to make major decisions at the club - one of which being the push to move former Barcelona star Neymar on with it being suggested that the relationship between the pair is frosty at best.
