Mbappe has found himself caught up in the ongoing investigation into attempted blackmail on the Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.
Galtier was asked about the player’s mood amidst the ongoing situation to which the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager replied (via RMCSport):
The football world was stunned when Pogba’s brother Mathias claimed he was going to bring “great revelations” to light about the Juventus player.
The former Manchester United midfielder responded to the video by releasing a statement claiming that the video ‘came as no surprise’.
The statement reads (via France24):
Paul Pogba alleges that he was threatened by ‘childhood friends and two hooded men armed with assault rifles’.
The French international has told investigators that the blackmailers are looking to discredit him by claiming he asked a witch doctor to cast a spell on Mbappe.
Mathias Pogba tweeted Mbappe directly following this, stating:
Mbappe trying to focus on PSG following disappointing draw
Mbappe was part of the PSG side that drew 1-1 with AS Monaco over the weekend.
The French striker had impressed in the game prior, scoring a phenomenal hat-trick in the 7-1 demolition of LOSC Lille on August 21.
The former Monaco forward scored the fastest goal in Ligue 1 history in the win over Lille.
His impressive start to the season has coincided with Neymar and Lionel Messi’s fine form.
The Frenchman will not want any distractions such as the situation regarding Paul Pogba’s alleged blackmail.
The striker is yet to comment on the allegations that the Juventus player asked a witch doctor to put a spell on the striker.
The duo play for the French national team and are set to link up at the 2022 FIFA World Cup later this year in Qatar.
