Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier said rumours about Kylian Mbappe's future did not disrupt his team's preparations for Tuesday's Champions League match against Benfica.
Stuttering PSG were held to a third straight draw as the game at the Parc des Princes ended 1-1 after Mbappe put them ahead from the penalty spot just before half-time.
It came after various media reports in Spain and France earlier in the day suggested Mbappe would seek to leave PSG in the January transfer window, despite only signing a new three-year contract at the end of last season.
"I know nothing," Galtier said when asked about the reports following Tuesday's game.
"All I know is that a rumour became a story and then that almost became a declaration.
"I found it very surprising that such a story should come out just before such a big game."
He added: "I didn't see anything unusual in Kylian's preparation for the game, and he played with a lot of rhythm and intensity and gave a response to the rumours. "We remained focused on the match and I don't think the rumour disrupted our preparations."
