The Spanish coach of Paris Saint-Germain, Luis Enrique, praised the captain of the French national team, Kylian Mbappe, describing him as a “club legend who “gave everything” for a team that decided to leave at the end of the season, according to what was announced on Friday evening. Enrique commented on Mbappe’s official final decision to leave Saint-Germain. Next summer, after seven seasons he spent in its ranks, during which he won all possible titles except the Champions League, saying, “He is a legend of the club. He is a player who gave everything to this club, and the club gave everything to him as well.”
The Spanish coach added, “I understand his decision,” reassuring that “PSG will be stronger next season” despite the departure of Mbappe, which followed the other two greats, Argentine Lionel Messi and Brazilian Neymar, who moved last summer to Inter Miami of the United States and Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia, respectively. The 25-year-old leaves “Parc des Princes”, the all-time top scorer for Saint-Germain, after scoring 255 goals for him in 305 matches, including 42 goals at the continental level.
Mbappe will bid farewell to the Parc des Princes on Sunday when Saint-Germain meets Toulouse in the penultimate thirty-third round of the French League. Mbappe ends his seven-season journey in the colors of Saint-Germain, winning the French League title for the sixth time since his arrival in 2017 from Monaco, with the possibility of winning the local treble after Enrique’s team won the Champions Cup (Super Cup) at the beginning of the season, in addition to qualifying for the cup final, where it will face Lyon. On the current 25th.
Mbappe confidentially informed Saint-Germain officials last February of his intention to leave when his contract expires at the end of the current season. The player never said this publicly, nor did he confirm where he would go next, but Spanish Real Madrid seems to be his likely destination.
