“Our position is very clear: if Kylian wants to stay, we want him to stay. But he must sign a new contract, he asserted. We can’t let the best player in the world leave for free, it’s not possible. »

Because before him, Luis Enrique had not risked entering into the debate which has been agitating the club for a month now. “I count on all the players who have a contract. Who knows, with all this happening behind the scenes… The transfer window is constantly changing, the Spaniard had simply said. What we discuss with Luis Campos and the president remains between us. »
