The club is more than any player, PSG coach reacts to Mbappé departure. What is the atmosphere in the team?

PSG successfully entered the spring phase of the Champions League this week. Thanks to a goal scored by Kylian Mbappé, PSG defeated Real Sociedad 2:0. Since then, however, only the future of the French jewel has been discussed. The player was due to announce to the club that he is leaving in the summer. What did coach Luis Enrique say?

On Wednesday, Kylian Mbappé was still the main figure of the match against Real Sociedad, but on Thursday, a media avalanche erupted around his person. The reason? The 25-year-old footballer was due to announce to PSG management that he will leave in the summer.

The French gem is only under contract in Paris until the summer. Currently, he can negotiate with any club and leave for free after the season. The biggest favourite to get him is of course Real Madrid.

But the situation around the former Monaco player changes frequently and dynamically. One day it’s like this, a few hours later it’s another. However, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano also reported this week that Mbappé was to announce his end to PSG.

However, an official statement from any of the parties involved is still awaited. However, the Parisian side will face Nantes in Ligue 1 on Saturday evening and coach Luis Enrique has faced questions on this occasion. Of course, there was a question about the future of his team’s biggest star.

Luis Enrique took the situation in stride. He understands the great pressure, he understands the interest of the media. Instead of getting angry, he just stated that nothing is official and until someone officially speaks, he won’t give his opinion.

After all, Kylian Mbappé is still with his team now. “We continue our work. The team is together. The club is more than any player. That’s our message. The club is more than individuals,” Goal quotes the coach as saying.

And what about the atmosphere in the cabin? “It’s the same as the atmosphere in every training session before a match. If I have any concerns? No. You have to have a personality that can handle it. Speculation, controversy and criticism will be around the club all the time. Anyone who can’t stand it couldn’t be here,” he added.

PSG are currently first in Ligue 1, 11 points ahead of second-placed Nice. Besides, they are dreaming of winning the Champions League again. Mbappé can say goodbye to the team as a hero. He is having another great season himself, scoring 31 goals and adding 7 assists in 30 games across all competitions.
