Kylian Mbappe admits he told PSG he wanted to leave this past summer.
In the final days of the summer market, Real Madrid had offers of €160m and €180m rejected by PSG.
Mbappe told RMC: "I asked to leave, because from the moment I didn't want to extend, I wanted the club to have a transfer fee to have a quality replacement. It's a club that has given me a lot, I have always been happy, the four years I spent here, and I still am.
"I announced it early enough that the club could turn around. I wanted everyone to go out to grow up, to go out hand in hand, to make a good deal, and I respected that. I said, if you don't want me to go, I will stay.
"Me, my position was clear. I said I wanted to leave and I said it early enough. Personally, I didn't really appreciate the fact of saying 'yes, he's coming the last week of August ...' because that makes a thief. I said at the end of July that I wanted to leave."
