Kylian Mbappe was unhappy with certain aspects at PSG

Kylian Mbappe was unhappy with certain aspects at PSG

Kylian Mbappe admits that certain "things and people" made him unhappy at PSG.

The French star's move to Real Madrid on a free transfer was confirmed earlier this week and he explained that it was only specific matters that left him disgruntled at the Ligue 1 club.

Mbappe told reporters: "At PSG, I wasn't unhappy. Saying I was would be spitting in the soup, spitting in the faces of those who defended me and supported me. I was always happy at PSG but it's clear there were things and people there that made me unhappy.

"And nobody there would say I was unhappy because I was a leader in the team and someone for people to follow and we don't follow someone who drags their feet. It's difficult to follow someone like that.

"I tried to be as positive as possible. And all the coaches, the players, everyone at the club really helped me.

"Excuse the impression, it's an angry way of saying it, but I would be a b****** to come here and say, having joined a new club, that I was unhappy at PSG with all the people who are there. But there were things there that made me unhappy for sure."

Mbappe will join Real Madrid on a five-year deal once his PSG contract expires at the end of the month and is glad to have his future settled before he represents France at Euro 2024.

He said: "It's a great relief. I am very happy. That's something you can easily see on my face. Like I said, it's something I've always wanted so I am happy.

"I'm in a good moment physically, the team and the manager thinks so too, so I'm going to find the best form possible and my objective is to put the team in the best possible position at the Euros. We want to bring the trophy home.

"A happy man is more likely to play better than a sad one. But it's not an excuse for the performances I've done, nor for the ones I'm going to have. It's just a feeling I have now, that I'm really happy."
