The season ended in style. Despite the failure in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain will have finished by winning the treble, with the Championship, the Champions Trophy and therefore a Coupe de France won this Saturday evening, against Olympique Lyonnais (2-1) . A success for Paris Saint-Germain, who will therefore part ways with Kylian Mbappé. And while the Parisian said his goodbyes after this last meeting before playing Euro 2024 with the Blues, Luis Enrique spoke about the rest of the events, praising the quality of his future ex-number 7.
“I had the chance to coach Kylian this season. It was a difficult season for him. After seven years and many successes, it’s very hard to say goodbye. He was always ready to help his team. Tonight was the icing on the cake, even if he didn’t score. But he was present at all the actions. He’s a different player.”he explained at a press conference, before saying more about his potential replacement.
“And maybe four, five or six players to recruit”
“There is no replacement for Kylian Mbappé. Only a team with ambition. And maybe four, five or six players to recruit. We will try to achieve more as a team. It will be a challenge for all the players who sign here. We want to make history and win this Champions League. I don’t know when we will win it, but we will. It’s the end of the season. But the negotiations beginadded the Parisian manager, before saying more about the contours of the next transfer window.
“We will try to improve the squad. The PSG project is impressive given our potential. The market will be made with Luis Campos and our president. Signing good players remains a difficult step. Their adaptation time must be taken into account. Vacations exist, but not for me”. The message has gotten through and Luis Enrique already seems to be at work to design his next squad, without Kylian Mbappé.
