Luis Enrique makes huge Kylian Mbappe demand to Nasser Al-Khelaifi after being tipped to take over at PSG - Reports

Potential new Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) boss Luis Enrique is reportedly demanding that president Nasser Al-Khelaifi does everything to keep Kylian Mbappe.

According to El Nacional, Enrique is close to succeeding Christophe Galtier at the Parc des Princes. Mbappe's ominous situation with the Parisians would be one of the Spaniard's first objectives to deal with.

The French striker has told PSG that he will not be extending his contract that expires in 2024. That has led to Real Madrid coming back into the picture, and they're keen on signing Mbappe as Karim Benzema's replacement.

However, Enrique is eager to keep hold of the 24-year-old, who bagged 41 goals in 43 games across competitions this season. The former Barcelona coach is reportedly going to sit down with the player and his mother Fayza Lamari who acts as his agent.

Enrique will try and convince the Frenchman that continuing with PSG would be best for him. If he succeeds, it would be the second time the Parisians forward would snub a move to Madrid.

The Spanish coach is also asking Al-Khelaifi to do everything possible to keep Mbappe at the Parc des Princes. He wants the striker to remain at the club no matter the price.

The forward's deal with the Parisians contains a one-year option for renewal. However, he doesn't intenf to trigger that option and informed the same to his club through a letter, which irked the Parisians hierarchy.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola rules out signing PSG's Kylian Mbappe

Guardiola says that City won't be signing Mbappe.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said that his treble winners won't Kylian Mbappe. The Spaniard says that everybody knows which club the French forward wants to join, saying (via Fabrizio Romano):

“We will not sign Kylian Mbappe; he’s not joining Man City — all of you know where he wants to go…”

The Cityzens have just finished the best season in their history, winning the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup. Their summer signing of Norweigan striker Erling Haaland played a huge role in that.

Haaland bagged 52 goals in 53 games across competitions and was Europe's in-form forward. Hence, a move for Kylian Mbappe is not necessary for the Premier League giants.

Guardiola suggests that everybody knows what the PSG attacker's preferred destination is. That points in the direction of Madrid, who Mbappe nearly joined in 2022. However, he put pen to paper on a new two-year deal at the Parc des Princes in May that year.
