Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos has responded to claims that Kylian Mbappe demanded that Neymar be sold in the last transfer window.

Mbappe snubbed interest from Real Madrid to sign a bumper new three-year deal with the French champions in the off-season.

The Frenchman reportedly wanted Neymar to leave the Parc des Princes, with Chelsea said to be interested following their arrival of their new owner Todd Boehly who wanted a blockbuster signing.

Campos has finally addressed those rumours amid reports there is tension in the PSG dressing room.

"No. I even heard that Kylian had demanded that we take Neymar out. No. We count on all three. Last year, Kylian was the best player in the world," Campos said, as per Goal.

"Messi was adapting, Neymar was injured and Kylian held the team together. He is a huge player.

"But Neymar is a very good player, there is no doubt about that. And above all, everything I heard before about him, I must've listened wrong because he always arrives on time. I see a Neymar involved in the team project, in the club project."
