The French team is making its comeback this week. The Blues face Ireland at the Parc des Princes on Thursday as part of the qualifiers for the next Euro, then Germany in a friendly in Dortmund next Tuesday. The climate is undoubtedly relaxed after a transfer window which saw several players change clubs. We are of course thinking of the French who came to PSG, such as Lucas Hernandez or Randal Kolo Muani in the last hours of the transfer window. Kylian Mbappé, he stayed with his club, while all summer, his future made the headlines.

Even with the Blues, his future was a matter of concern, as Aurélien Tchouaméni concedes, who could have seen him land at Real Madrid. “Obviously that was a possibility. Afterwards, there are plenty of things that can happen in a team. All teams want it. He’s a PSG player today, we’re not going to talk about him more than that. Good season to him, and we are very happy with what we have today.summarizes the midfielder who probably hopes to see him one day sign at the Casa Blanca.

Hernandez: “hoping he (Mbappé) stays with us a little longer”

The 2022 European champion is the clear destination for the striker, who did not extend with PSG this summer, and who sees his contract end in 2024 if he does not activate his extension option. a year. In open conflict with PSG, Mbappé was even deprived of a tour of Asia by his club. This stroke of pressure apparently worked since the top scorer in Ile-de-France in history ended up returning to the group. A real relief for another player of the selection: Lucas Hernandez.

The latter has just signed with PSG. He would probably have taken the departure of his now teammate in the club badly, as in Blue, even if he concedes that there was a real risk. “When we talk about Kylian, we talk about one of the best players in the world, it’s better to have him with us. There have been uncertainties, but now he is with us. He is doing us extraordinary good, hoping that he will stay with us a little longer., smiles the 27-year-old left-handed defender. Even among the Blues, the captain’s future is on everyone’s lips.
