PSG midfielder Danilo admits Mbappe leaving

PSG midfielder Danilo Pereira has confirmed the players have been told Kylian Mbappe will leave at the end of the season.

Danilo was speaking after their 2-0 win with Nantes, where Mbappe started the game on the bench. It's also claimed Mbappe has committed to a five-year deal with Real Madrid.

"It was a two-speed match," Danilo reportedly in the mixed zone afterwards. "It was easy for Nantes to defend at the start, we weren't in a good position, but then in the second half we improved. The first goal gave the team peace of mind."

He continued: "What is it like to play without Kylian? The dynamic changes, but we still have good players who can make the difference.

"We were surprised to see him on the bench because he plays a lot.

"What was the reaction to his decision to leave PSG at the end of the season? It's not a decision that creates problems. It didn't bother us..."
