I would also like to thank all the fans of Paris Saint-Germain, both in France and around the world, for their support, especially in recent months.

Todo esto ocurre sin pensar en las consecuencias financieras que puede causar a largo plazo. Estoy convencido de que aquí puedo seguir creciendo en un club que da todo lo necesario para rendir al máximo nivel. Es escandaloso que un club como el PSG pueda cerrar un acuerdo así mientras aquellos clubes que podían permitirse la contratación del jugador sin ver comprometida su masa salarial se queda sin poder ficharlo... Juntos, codo con codo y ambiciosos, haremos magia en París”. “Quisiera agradecer al presidente, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, su confianza, su comprensión y su paciencia. Sin embargo, eso pareció no importarles y aún así fueron por el jugador, mientras que al mismo tiempo pasaron la vergüenza del rechazo.

Pese a que después intentaron ficharlo, ya existió la negativa por parte de los involucrados. Sin embargo, con varias ofertas hacia los ingleses, el ariete africano nunca llegó a un acuerdo con los españoles. El marfileño estuvo en el radar de los merengues al momento que Drogba militó en el Chelsea, que fue el equipo con el que explotó su talento y se dio a conocer mundialmente.

In: Zinedine Zidane? The chances of Mauricio Pochettino continuing beyond the end of this season are slim to none with an official departure expected shortly.

The 25-year-old would by no means be the big move of the summer, but it would be a double coup for Ligue 1 over La Liga after Mbappe's decision to stay given Barca's desire to keep him. He is by no means alone with the likes of Ander Herrera, Leandro Paredes and Colin Dagba also headed for the exit. Neymar spoke of his personal and professional delight at seeing Mbappe extend on Saturday and it could be that there is no choice but to knuckle down for the 30-year-old. Already confirmed to be leaving, FC Metz at home was Angel Di Maria's final appearance in Parisien colors and the Argentine leaves as one of the best servants of this PSG side. The chances of Mauricio Pochettino continuing beyond the end of this season are slim to none with an official departure expected shortly.

The French striker has signed a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain, but needs to leave the comforts of home to properly test himself.

Their sporting director Leonardo is leaving, and it is expected their manager Mauricio Pochettino will also be leaving this summer. They had an agreement in place, and were getting ready to welcome him. I wanted to stay here in France, and in Paris; I have always said Paris is my house. In 1982, Michel Platini swapped Saint-Etienne for Juventus, where he won two Serie A titles, when it was the strongest league in the world, and the Champions League. He was also recognised as the best in the world, winning the Ballon d’Or three times. To be really tested; to really prove he is the best player in the world, Mbappe needed to make the step to a more competitive league this summer. Mbappe had nearly moved to Spain in the summer of 2021, but Paris Saint-Germain turned down a bid worth €200 million and forced him to see out the final year of his contract, and use the time to persuade him to sign a new one.
