Faced with journalists, the former FC Barcelona indeed indicated without batting an eyelid: “I’ve been in dressing rooms full of stars in Barcelona or Madrid for a long time, I feel good with the players, they are selfish and intelligent, they know perfectly well that if you are there to help them, they engage with you. You “. Luis Enrique indicated that he had for the moment only discussions with the players already present at the training center, namely Nuno Mendes, Nordi Mukiele and Presnel Kimpembe. He will soon have some with other players, like Neymar. The Brazilian could well stay another year, especially under the orders of Luis Enrique, coach with whom he won the Champions League in 2015. The biggest question remains whether or not Kylian Mbappé will stay at PSG, he who has received a huge pressure from Nasser Al-Khelaïfi in the last few minutes. The Frenchman still has a few days to decide. Otherwise the exit will be clearly indicated.
