Vezirian stated this in a tweet on Twitter on Wednesday.
According to him, Mbappe has informed PSG that he actually doesn’t want to play with Messi and added that he dreams of playing for Real Madrid and he is hoping that it happens before the transfer window closes.
“Kylian Mbappé wants to leave. He has requested his exit voucher and does not wish to extend. Either it’s Real Madrid this sSummer, or a free start in a year,” Vezirian tweeted.
“He had already warned several weeks ago that he did not want to play with Messi.”
