The president of Paris Saint-Germain has been clear: he wants Kylian Mbappé to stay. To be continued.

"I want Kylian Mbappé to stay", "the best club for him is Paris", PSG president Nasser Al said on Tuesday -Khelaïfi, while the French striker, who will be at the end of his contract in June, has been free since January 1 to sign for another club for this summer.

"I'm not going to hide that I want Kylian to stay, the best player in the world is Kylian, and the best club for him is Paris," said the Qatari leader on RMC. "He is in the center, he has the best training center in the world (the new PSG Campus, Editor's note), the best coach in the world (Luis Enrique)", he said argued.

"Every year he plays the Champions League for sure, at least we are in the 8th, quarter-final, or even semi-final or final, we are there with the big clubs" , he insisted. As the striker mentioned last Wednesday after the Champions Trophy, Nasser al-Khelaïfi stressed that Kylian Mbappé "has an agreement with (him).".< /p>

"Not about the money"

But, he assured, the question of his departure or his extension “is not a question of money”. To the media which began to relay rumors about the future of Mbappé, "NAK" asked for "tranquility". "We have a lot of very important matches, I ask you to leave Kylian alone, leave him alone", he said.

Nasser Al-Khelaïfi also promised that the duo formed by coach Luis Enrique, who arrived last summer, and sports director Luis Campos would remain in place for the next seasons : "I am very pleased with the work of both of them, they do a fantastic job."

As for the Parc des Princes, which PSG would like to buy from the City of Paris to expand and modernize it, he reaffirmed the position of his club: "Le Parc des Princes Princes, he said, is the best stadium in the world, but the fans need bigger, closer to the pitch."

"I want respect"

"Honestly with the City, I want respect, we didn't get it, it hurts a lot because we did good things for the city", he continued reference to the poor relations in recent months with the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, who refused to sell the stadium.

The president of PSG also reacted virulently to the comments made by David Belliard, environmentalist deputy of Anne Hidalgo responsible in particular for the transformation of public space, who declared the last week at the microphone of Sud Radio that (he) does not want the sale of the Parc des Princes to Qatar. "Because we are Qatar, because we are Arabs? Legally he can't say that, "it's serious& quot;, snapped Nasser Al-Khelaïfi.

"I will oppose the sale of this Parisian heritage to private interests, whatever their nationality", responded in a reaction to the' AFP David Belliard, considering that "calling me racist amounts to defamation, and is not at the level of the issues of this important debate". While PSG has given up on applying for the purchase of the Stade de France, the first deputy Emmanuel Grégoire for his part proposed a resumption of dialogue on the future of the Park, raising the possibility of a sale or a very long-term lease.
