Like Ancelotti, PSG coach Luis Enrique gave an awkward answer on Mbappé's future

The arrival of the new year has ignited rumors about the future of Kylian Mbappé. He has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain until June 30, 2024 and an automatic renewal clause for another year. But everything seems to indicate that he has no intention of activating it and, in that case, he will become a free agent once the current season ends.

And that's not all. FIFA rules allow players who have less than six months left on their contract with their current club to negotiate freely with other teams interested in signing him. That is why reports assure that Real Madrid will communicate in the next few days with Fayza Lamari, the striker's mother and agent, to make him an offer. To tempt him, the Spanish side are willing to pay him almost double what the squad's main stars, such as Toni Kroos, David Alaba and Jude Bellingham, earn.

However, while all this is going on, the tournaments in Europe continue and this week PSG will be looking for their first title of the season when they face Toulouse FC in the French Super Cup. The Parisian side reached the final as the last Ligue 1 champions, while their rivals won the Coupe de France.

As usual before each match, coach Luis Enrique held a press conference and was asked by a journalist about how he manages the situation of Kylian Mbappé and his possible departure from the club at the end of the season. But the Spanish manager decided not to give many details about this and said, "I will manage it as I have always done. It is not something that depends on me. I'm not the person to answer that question."

The same thing is happening in Spain

This Tuesday Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid coach, also gave a press conference and a journalist asked him if he believes that in 2024 Mbappé will finally arrive at the Spanish side. The coach first laughed and then replied: "You haven't listened before when I said I don't answer this question. I'm not going to touch this subject."
