Kylian Mbappe has strongly denied allegations of rape reported by a Swedish newspaper, calling it “fake news” and accusing it of being timed to coincide with his upcoming hearing over unpaid wages with former club Paris Saint-Germain. The Real Madrid star’s entourage also labeled the report as a “slanderous rumour” and threatened legal action.
The 25-year-old, who claims PSG owes him 55 million euros, was not selected for France’s recent matches and spent time in Stockholm before the allegations surfaced. Swedish police are investigating a formal complaint made over an incident in the city center, but have not disclosed further details.
In response, Mbappe’s team vowed to take legal action against those spreading false accusations and harming his reputation. Paris Saint-Germain dismissed any connection between the rape report and Mbappe’s wages dispute. The talented forward recently moved to Madrid after a successful stint with PSG.
It remains to be seen how this controversy will affect Mbappe’s career and public image, but he is determined to clear his name and pursue justice against any involved parties. Stay tuned for updates as the investigation unfolds.
