Tottenham fullback Serge Aurier insists he would have happily stayed with PSG this season.
However, Aurier says he needed to leave as he felt mistreated by the Ligue Une leaders.
He told Canal Football Club: "Of course I would've liked to continue playing for PSG. I played in the club of my heart. I'm from Sevran. I am Parisian so playing for your heart's club, there is nothing better.
"It would not bother me. At first I wanted to leave, after I thought about when there was the offer of contract, but in the end I thought it was useless."
Aurier continued: "I could not stay in the sense that I was not judged about my performances. When I was good, I was told that I was average ... When it's like that you have to go elsewhere. I was prepared for all that. I know how it goes. The most difficult thing is for my family. They do not know the codes of football. It was for me the moment to leave."
