Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has denied reports claiming that he would like to see 14 people leave the club as part of a mass overhaul this summer.
The 23-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, but he has decided to commit his future to the Parisian outfit by signing a new three-year contract.
Mbappe's lucrative new deal has allegedly granted him more control with regards to how the club operates, including decisions over the futures of players and staff.
Recent reports in the media, including one from Spain, claim that Mbappe has drawn up a 14-man blacklist which includes senior figures such a manager Mauricio Pochettino and star forward Neymar.
However, Mbappe has since taken to Twitter to reply to a tweet by SPORTbible – which has since been deleted – posting the word "FAKE" to deny such rumours.

Pochettino, who has just over a year remaining on his PSG contract, recently expressed his desire to remain in charge of the Ligue 1 champions for the 2022-23 campaign.
Neymar has also publicly confirmed his desire to stay at PSG, with the 30-year-old forward contracted to the club until the summer of 2025.
