Kylian Mbappé, linked to a rape investigation in Sweden, will address the matter with Swedish authorities "if necessary," according to his lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard. The French football star has strongly refuted media reports that suggest he commented on the case, emphasizing that he will provide any explanations directly to the Swedish judiciary.
Reports from French outlets Le Parisien and RMC Sports claimed that Mbappé had consensual relations with a woman during a trip to Stockholm earlier this month. Mbappé allegedly possesses messages from the woman reflecting a positive and consensual encounter, though it's unclear if she is the same person who filed the rape complaint.
After Swedish media reported that a woman had filed a rape complaint following his departure, Mbappé dismissed the allegations as "fake news" on social media. He hinted that the accusations could be linked to his financial dispute with former club Paris Saint-Germain, calling the timing of the allegations "predictable."
Swedish authorities have confirmed an ongoing investigation but have not named Mbappé. His lawyer insists that the Real Madrid striker is "at ease" and maintains his innocence, stating that he has "done nothing wrong."
