“These accusations are totally false and irresponsible, and their propagation is unacceptable,” they said in a statement sent to the AP and other media. “Kylian Mbappé will under no circumstances tolerate his integrity, reputation and honor being sullied by unfounded insinuations.”

In a post late Monday on his official X account Mbappé wrote “FAKE NEWS!!!!” and linked to a French article picking up the Swedish reports.

He appeared to draw a link between the reports in Sweden and a hearing in Paris on Tuesday in a legal dispute with former club Paris Saint-Germain over unpaid wages.

“It’s becoming so predictable, on the eve of the hearing, as if by chance,” the post said in French.

Mbappé’s lawyers didn’t comment as they arrived for and left the hearing in Paris on Tuesday.

Later Tuesday, a lawyer for Mbappé, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, told French broadcaster TF1 that her client was “bewildered” by the reports.

“We are told that a complaint has been lodged, but at this stage we don’t even know against whom. A complaint does not make the truth, a complaint does not prove anything. And once again, I don’t even know if the complaint is against him,” she said.

Swedish media already last week reported on Mbappé’s brief stay in Stockholm, publishing pictures of him and his entourage.

The French star had been given permission to skip international duty because of a minor thigh injury as France beat Israel and Belgium in Nations League matches on Oct. 10 and Oct. 14, respectively.

Mbappé, who won the World Cup with France in 2018, joined Real Madrid this summer after seven years at PSG.
