Kylian Mbappé is unlikely to leave PSG this summer, and according to Jérôme Rothen, credit should go to Luis Enrique.
The standoff is over. Negotiations have resumed. Kylian Mbappé will indeed stay at PSG this season. Extending his contract? That’s not settled yet, but both sides are in discussions. Speaking on RMC, Jérôme Rothen asserts that coach Luis Enrique played a significant role in the resolution.
« The saga is behind us, which is good for football, for PSG, and for Kylian Mbappé. I think there were many things involved in this matter. There was also an issue of ego at some point. And that’s not good when there’s ego like that, involving contracts and words, finding common ground becomes difficult. It went far, and he was disciplined. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has shown a new policy, and that’s very good, » said Jérôme Rothen.
« We are fortunate to have a coach who wants to work with them, and wants to implement his ideas without any limitations. There has been a warming of the discourse between Nasser and Kylian Mbappé, but there has also been intervention from Luis Enrique. I am convinced that the coach has also stepped in because he is capable of handling and taking on this role. He doesn’t want to bear the burden of past issues. He added his input by saying: ‘Listen, try to work things out on both sides, but Kylian Mbappé’s place is at PSG’, » Rothen stated.
