Rafael Leo has chosen it

Life without Kylian Mbappé, Luis Enrique does more than think about it. “We have to learn to play without Kylian”, acknowledged the Spanish technician who is already preparing the sequel. So, he no longer hesitates to take out the Frenchman, who has not satisfied him recently on the pitch. This was the case at Louis II Stadium on Friday evening, where KM7 took a place in the stands with his mother instead of joining the bench and his teammates. That caused a lot of discussion, even though the French striker and his coach have since explained themselves.

PSG appreciate it

At the same time, the residents of the Parc des Princes continue to prepare for the future and look for the player or players who will replace the Blues’ captain at the front of the Parisian attack. For several months, some names have come out of the hat such as Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) or Victor Osimhane (Naples). Rafael Leo (AC Milan) is also linked with the French champion club.
