Mbappe: I Will Announce My New Team Within Days

Kylian Mbappe, the top scorer for the French national team and Paris Saint-Germain, confirmed that he will leave the “Parc des Princes” stadium with his head held high. But Spanish coach Luis Enrique finds it very difficult to find a suitable replacement for his international goalscorer. Mbappe announced this month that he would leave Saint-Germain after 7 seasons, during which he became the team's all-time top scorer, with 256 goals. Mbappe played his last match for Saint-Germain, during the victory over Olympique Lyonnais 2-1, winning the French Cup for the 14th time. Mbappe said in press statements: “It was difficult and fun. Because it is a final, and in the end we won, I am full of joy.” He added: “They are all good memories.” Many years with Paris Saint-Germain, and of course in the league we leave with our heads held high; Especially after the coronation, we will only keep the positives.” There was widespread speculation about Mbappe's imminent transfer to the Spanish club Real Madrid. But the 25-year-old player has not yet revealed the identity of his next destination, and when asked why, he replied: “I think I wanted to end my career well with a team where there is a title. I believe there is an appropriate time for everything.” He concluded by saying: “I will announce my new team at the appropriate time. I think it is a matter of days, so there is no problem.” For his part, Luis Enrique admitted that he faces great difficulties in finding a suitable replacement for Mbappe, stressing that he will focus on the unity of the entire team, and not on a specific player. He pointed out: “I was lucky to coach Mbappe this season. It was a difficult season for him after 7 years with the team and everything he achieved. Saying goodbye is difficult.” He stressed: “There is no alternative to Mbappe. We cannot replace him. We will do that through the team and 5 or 6 new signings. "We can do it."
