Luis Enrique insisted “PSG are above any individual” and claimed everything was “normal”, with the coach bombarded with questions about Kylian Mbappé.
The virtuoso’s decision to leave Paris Saint-Germain has sparked intense speculation, with Real Madrid reportedly close to securing the French striker’s signature. However, Enrique has remained tight-lipped about the superstar striker’s potential departure despite repeated attempts by journalists to get a reaction from the manager.
Speaking to journalists in the press room, Luis Enrique said: “We will continue to work. The team is above everyone else, that’s our message. The club is above all individuality. »
Enrique’s subtle tackle
Asked about the atmosphere at training, the coach added: “It’s the atmosphere of every training session before a match. This is normal training. Do I have any fears? No. You have to have personality to sit here. There are rumors around the club all the time, criticism, praise, controversy… Anyone who doesn’t like it can’t be here. »
While Real Madrid’s leaders patiently await Mbappé’s response to the offer they reportedly made, Enrique did his best to keep calm in front of the press. However, the manager is well aware that he must lead the impending restructuring at the Parc des Princes following the star’s departure, with the Parisians set to dip into the market for attacking reinforcements this summer.
