We will intensify this.
“Remember that PSG suffered financial losses this year, we’re in a complicated moment and it’s not easy, but we’re talking directly with Mbappe and Neymar.

“There is a lot of talk,” he said. “And in the Spanish teams, there are a lot of politics.
We speak directly with Kylian, that’s the truth of the negotiation.
“The truth is that PSG are in a complicated moment, but it will be the team of the next five years that will have a shot.
“There are teams that have gone through a very long, successful cycle and are starting to struggle.
We have young but very experienced players.

That’s the idea. I see this future and that’s what we’re working on.
