Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, the French first division champion, refused to comment on reports that said that France captain Kylian Mbappe would leave the French capital club at the end of the current season, when he spoke to journalists, on Friday, saying that he could not say anything. Something in this regard.
A source at the club revealed to Reuters on Friday that Mbappe will leave Saint-Germain at the end of his current contract, but all the details and conditions have not yet been agreed upon, which may require a few months before an official announcement is made.
After a huge number of media reports that dealt with the matter since yesterday, Thursday, it was clear that the team coach’s first question would include a request to confirm Mbappe’s departure, but his short response was not enough.
Enrique simply said during the press conference: “No, I can’t say anything.”
Afterwards, he received a question about whether he was concerned about the player’s commitment to the team for the remainder of the season, but the coach said that this was not up for discussion.
He added: “I will try to put an end to this matter. I have no comments to make.”
He continued: “The concerned parties have not said anything publicly yet. Kylian Mbappe has not said anything publicly… When the two parties speak, I will express my opinion.”
Mbappe joined Saint-Germain in 2017 when he was 18 years old, coming from Monaco for 180 million euros ($193.91 million), making him the second most expensive player in the world after Brazilian Neymar, who joined Saint-Germain in the same month for 222 million euros.
Mbappé won the French League in his last season with Monaco, then won the title with Saint-Germain in five of the following six seasons.
Saint-Germain currently leads the league standings, 11 points behind its closest competitor.
