Al Khelaifi visited Saints training and left a message for Mbappe: No one is above the club

On Monday, Kylian Mbappe joined Paris Saint-Germain’s pre-season at the club’s magnificent new sports center in Poissy, with Saints first man Nasser Al Khelaifi visiting the squad a day later. On that occasion, the president of Paris Saint-Germain gave a speech in which he gave his full support to the new coach Luis Enrique and a business message to the captain, with whom he is currently not on the same wavelengths.The reason is well known: Mbappe’s decision not to renew his contract, but to leave the club as a free agent after the current one expires next summer (and, most likely, to Real Madrid). Al Khelaifi was furious when he found out about the plan of the team’s first star and told him to leave already this summer, knowing that this is the only way the club can get compensation. Although they did not have a face-to-face meeting, the president of the Parisians sent that message to Mbappe through his address to the team.##NAJAVA_MECA_7381603##French media reports that Al Khelaifi’s speech lasted 15 minutes, and in it he told the players that “no one is above Paris Saint-Germain”.”Neither am I, and anyone who doesn’t want to play for this club or shows disrespect shouldn’t be here. The club has built the best training center in the world for the players to progress. Now you have no excuse, you won’t miss anything. We have to focus on good work, and then the results will come. We have to play great football and the players are obliged to return the support they have from the fans and the club,” said the first man of PSG.Before the speech, Al Khelaifi was seen personally welcoming new players Skriniar, Asensio, Ugarte, Lucas Hernandez, Kang In Lee and Cher Ndour. He spoke to them in English, but a little later he announced that they would have to learn French as soon as possible because in the future he would talk to everyone exclusively in French.”I want to welcome the new coach and the players. It is important to tell you that the coach has the freedom to do what he wants, he decides who will play and how much,” emphasized the president of the French champion.Premier entraînement tous ensemble. Tu es avec nous @sergiorico25 ❤️💙 pic.twitter.com/ywTuHRDAcj— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_inside) July 18, 2023
