Kylian Mbappe was quizzed by the media earlier this month regarding the reports about Paul Pogba and his brothers. The PSG star revealed that he had a conversation with his France teammate and has chosen to believe him for the time being. He was quoted by Get French Football News saying: "No, because today I prefer to trust the word of a teammate. He called me and gave his version of events.
