"Mbappe doesn't like playing as No.9, but he's not complaining because he's leaving"

Paris Saint-Germain blew a two-goal lead as in-form Brest staged an impressive comeback to hold the French champions to a 2-2 draw in Ligue 1 on Sunday. 'RMC Sport' journalist Daniel Riolo commented on PSG's disappointment on the radio, assuming Kylian Mbappe is ready to leave the Parc des Princes.

He did so by commenting on Luis Enrique's use of him as a centre-forward instead of a winger. "Contrary to popular belief, Mbappe doesn't like that position. As he's in his last year at PSG, he's not going to complain. He knows he's going to leave, so he'll get over it," he said before criticising the Spanish manager.

"That he does so is the coach's decision, but that he never wants to explain anything and that he belittles those who ask him is totally unacceptable. And it has nothing to do with the journalists, it has to do with the fans, who listen to us and pay for season tickets to watch the games. I find his attitude abnormal, contemptuous and selfish," he added.

Mbappe has a contract until June 30 and has yet to make a decision on where he wants to play next season. Real Madrid remain the main contenders to sign him while Liverpool could also be an interesting destination for him.
