PSG: the Kylian Mbappé affair weighs down Luis Enrique

This is, of course, the topic of the moment in Paris. We also talk more about Kylian Mbappé than the first steps of Luis Enrique on the Parisian bench, or the adaptation of the many Parisian recruits of the summer. And for the moment, the Spanish coach is quite evasive about the Bondynois. There was only a small media outing from the former Barça on this subject, during his presentation as the new Parisian coach in early July: “when I signed or when we talked about forming the workforce. We are always open. A host of things can happen. I keep it private. It’s a bit of professional secrecy so I can’t give confidences “.

Since then, he has not necessarily been called upon to speak on this subject. Just as it is logical that this situation is starting to annoy the Spaniard a bit. The daily The Team even explains that this case weighs down the internship in Japan, and that the atmosphere is heavy. The newspaper describes a Luis Enrique ” trapped “and who probably did not expect such a situation when signing his contract with the reigning French champion.

PSG don’t want him to talk

On the sporting level too, the situation is difficult for the former Roja. How to set up his paw if he does not even know if he will be able to count on the best player of his team at the recovery? Wouldn’t Luis Enrique want to have Mbappé under his orders to have the best team possible? Especially since for the moment, without Mbappé and awaiting reinforcements, the offensive sector of PSG seems far from being at the level of that of the best teams in Europe.

The sports publication also specifies that the PSG has built a plan around him, aiming to avoid as much as possible that he is questioned about Mbappé by journalists. He will no longer speak publicly before the start of Ligue 1 and the traditional pre-match press conference, against Lorient in this case. By then, maybe the situation will have been sorted out, but if not, Luis Enrique risks finding himself in an embarrassing situation. A big headache for the Spaniard in short…
