PSG president, Nasser Al Khelaifi “faced” Mbappe on the day of the debut of coach Luis Enrique. A few hours earlier, the Qatari billionaire’s home was ransacked by French police.
Yesterday (July 5), PSG officially announced Luis Enrique as the team’s head coach from next season. In the following press conference, the media repeatedly asked questions about Kylian Mbappe, but president Nasser Al Khelaifi only answered correctly once. The Qatari billionaire sent an extremely strong message to the French striker.
Al Khelaifi issues “ultimatum” for Mbappe
“My position is very clear and has never changed. I don’t want to be reminded again. If Kylian Mbappe wants to stay, he needs to sign a new contract. We don’t want to lose the best player in the world right now for $0. We cannot do that.
He also promised that he would not leave for free. If Mbappe changes his mind, it’s not our fault. I repeat, we don’t want to lose the best player in the world for $0. That’s for sure”.
The statements of the PSG president confirmed the information previously published by L’Equipe. It was the Paris team that gave Mbappe two weeks to think about the future. If this player wants to leave, PSG will put on the transfer market and if Mbappe stays, the French striker must sign a new contract.
According to Marca, PSG has been working with Mbappe for the past two weeks. However, things did not progress. The new coach Luis Enrique himself is also ready for the option of not having Mbappe in the squad. The Spaniard frankly said that anything is possible when asked about the future of the French striker.
Also related to the debut of coach Luis Enrique, the ceremony was originally scheduled to be held at 14:30 but was suddenly postponed to 5 pm. The French newspaper Mediapart quickly found out that the cause of this delay was from its president Nasser Al Khelaifi.
The Qatari billionaire could not arrive on time due to a French police search of his home. The source said the cause of the search was to find someone related to the president of PSG. This person is suspected of carrying out illegal investigations.
However, the appearance of Al Khelaifi at the launch of Luis Enrique showed that the Qatari billionaire did not have any serious problems.
