Paris Saint-Germain have hit out at Kylian Mbappe after the Real Madrid forward insinuated that the French club are spreading false stories about him.

On Monday, Swedish media reported that police are investigating a suspected rape that allegedly took place last Thursday at the same hotel which Mbappe and his entourage stayed at in central Stockholm.

There is no confirmation from Swedish police that Mbappe or his entourage were involved in or aware of the alleged crime at the hotel during his stay.

Mbappe, who left Sweden via private jet last Friday, shared RMC Sport’s version of the allegations from Sweden on his official X account and wrote: ‘Fake news!!!!

‘It has become so predictable. The day before the hearing as if by chance, right?’

Mbappe also included a winking emoji next to his message.

The Real Madrid forward is currently in dispute with his former club PSG over €55 million (£45.9m) in unpaid wages. Mbappe and PSG are due to meet at the Ligue de Football Professionnel’s (LFP) appeal committee on Tuesday to address the issue.

Ahead of Tuesday’s hearing, PSG slammed Mbappe’s post on X with a source inside the club telling French newspaper L’Equipe: ‘Honestly, it’s a shame. PSG is responsible for everything with him.

‘He didn’t score any goals (apart from penalties) for Madrid? It’s PSG.

‘He missed the French national team matches even though he says he did, but he’s not injured? It’s PSG.

‘PSG are now making up stories in Sweden. We will ignore it and keep our class.’

Meanwhile, Mbappe’s entourage branded the reports in Sweden as ‘false and irresponsible’ in a statement sent to AFP.

‘Today, a new slanderous rumour is starting to spread across the web from the Swedish media Aftonbladet,’ the statement read.

‘These accusations are completely false and irresponsible, and their propagation is unacceptable.

‘In order to put an end to this methodical destruction of (the) image (of Kylian Mbappe), all necessary legal actions will be taken to re-establish the truth and pursue any person or media involved in the moral harassment and defamatory treatment that Kylian Mbappe is suffering repeatedly.’
