PSG’s plan to replace Mbappe was discussed by Enrique following the team’s 2-1 victory over Lyon. He said, “I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to be a coach to Kylian. Following seven years at the club and all of his accomplishments he has had a challenging year. It is difficult to say goodbye.
Mbappe cannot be directly replaced there is no other option. Four, five or six new players will help us bolster the roster. The squad will strive to win everything in the upcoming seasons as will our supporters and ambition.”

Every experience I’ve had starting from the beginning of my career and continuing to this wonderful club, has taught me a great deal.
In addition to feeling better about myself I feel like a better teammate and a nice guy. I am overjoyed to be in this place. I’m sure the club will have many more successful years ahead of it. I personally promise to always try my hardest give it my all and accomplish my goal of standing out on the field. I’m eternally appreciative to God for every chance.”
