Following his record-breaking arrival from Barcelona in 2017, the Brazilian star departed the French city this summer for Saudi Pro League team Al-Hilal in a deal for £78 million.
But after gaining his release from the team, he criticized the organization for the way he and seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi thought they had been handled, saying they had been put through hell.
Additionally, former boss Leonardo said that the two, as well as Kylian Mbappe, were not helped by the club's backing and the recognition needed to foster a winning atmosphere.
Al-Khelaifi has responded to the accusations as a consequence.
'Kylian Mbappé is an incredible player and a fantastic person,' Al-Khelaifi said.
'And PSG's team has never been so united on and off the pitch. This is something that we saw in this weekend's 4-1 win at Lyon.
'We have a fantastic coach [Luis Enrique] and sports director [Luis Campos], and I am very happy with the renewed spirit that reigns in the club.
'This year, in the new PSG cycle, we focus less on results and more on performance and our style of play,' Al-Khelaifi added. 'If we do this, the results will accompany us.
'But some forget that, in the last four seasons, PSG has reached both the final of the Champions League and the semifinal of the same competition and only two other teams have gone further.'
