"I don't want Neymar to leave"

It was Mbappe himself who had many worried only a few months ago when he stated that he would want "more responsibility" and would look for it elsewhere if required. 

it was the start of a tug of war between the two players, which saw Neymar start his own campaign for a way out of the Parc Des Princes. It's been weeks, but it seems Mbappe has taken the opportunity to try to calm the situation down as much as possible, this time pubicly stating his support for his teammate's stay. 

At the press conference prior to the French Super Cup match against Rennes, the young striker said he has a great relationship with Neymar: "We have a good relationship and we all know his situation. He already knows what I think and I have spoken to him in a relationship based on honesty and respect."

"I don't want Neymar to leave. I respect and admire him, but I'm not the one who has to talk," continued a Mbappé who seemingly wants to remain close to the Brazilian striker for one more season.

About Cavani, Mbappé also indirectly asked him to continue in the team: "I want to be with great players and Cavani is one of those players."

As for Neymar's situation, the striker still wants to leave even though PSG have asked him for a truce, so the operation could end any day now.
