Verratti says Mbappe’s exit talks sickens him

Marco Verratti has revealed jokingly, how team-mate Kylian Mbappe’s exit talks make him “sick”.

So many speculations have surrounded the French attacker’s transfer possibilities against the summer transfer window.

According to GOAL, Mbappe has agreed to join Real Madrid at the end of the season, with an announcement to be made after the Champions League final.

Verratti said, “It will have an impact on the club, whatever his decision will be. He’s one of the best players on the planet right now so we all want him to stay here.

“But when I speak with him, it’s more just to have a laugh. In football, when you have something on your mind, if a decision is coming up, you don’t talk about it.

“It’s his decision, and I’m waiting for it like you are. When I was on my day off and I saw a notification saying that Kylian is in Madrid, it made me sick [laughs].

“Even if afterwards he told me: ‘Don’t worry, I was on holiday’. We’re all waiting to find out.”

When asked if he gives Mbappe advice about his future, he said, “No, because he knows what I think.

“I wouldn’t be a good advisor, in any case not an objective one. I wouldn’t be thinking about his own good, but that of everyone here in Paris.”
