Galtier and Verratti insist 'everything is fine' at PSG, Mbappe responds to exit rumors

Christophe Galtier and Marco Verratti have insisted there are no problems in the Paris Saint-Germain dressing room, after fresh speculation linked to Kylian Mbappe leaving the Ligue 1 giants.< /p>

Despite signing a new contract with PSG in May, claims from Spanish newspapers last week suggested Mbappe wanted to move away from the Parc des Princes.

The France international, who has at times seemed far from happy this season, denied after Sunday's 1-0 win over Marseille that he had asked to leave, and said he was in fact "very happy" in Paris.

Mbappe played all 90 minutes of the game against Marseille.

Head coach Galtier, who fumed at reporters on Friday after rumors of unrest within the squad, insisted the situation was under control.

"What's going on with Kylian? I said at a press conference that I was very honest, and I am very honest, even though some people make me feel am not,” the head coach told Amazon Prime Video.

"Nothing is happening with Kylian. Of course, I heard Kylian and I heard not his discomfort, but the fact of really being in his favorite position, and that's also why we looked for a different system.

"But believe me, everything is fine in the locker room. I have players who have a big character and strong personalities, but who are very great professionals."

Midfielder Verratti agreed with the PSG boss that there was no unrest in the ranks, after the reigning Ligue 1 champions ended a run of three successive draws in all competitions thanks to Neymar's strike in stoppage time in the first half.

"Everything is fine," said Italy international Verratti, who became the first outfield player to feature in the Classic 20 times – a tally only bettered by former Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda (30).< /p>

"Sometimes in Paris, a small thing passes for a big thing, but we are used to it. We do a little abstraction, we try to be centered on the pitch. We play every three days, we don't don't have time to think about these things.

"We knew it would be a battle [against Marseille]. It was a tough game, which comes after three draws; it was a must-win game.

"We could also score a second goal. We had chances, and it would have been important not to suffer until the last minute. We managed to win, we are happy.”
