Aljelefi on Mbappé’s future
I think everyone knows the future of Kilian, the Parisians and the players. He is a very competitive player. He wants to win, he wants to win a trophy, he said in public.
He wants a competitive team, and I think we have the most competitive team in the world. So he has no excuses now. He can do nothing but stay.
Messi’s message to Paris Saint-Germain fans: I really appreciate the people on the street. When the media reported this, I was in Barcelona, I saw things from Spain, and people had already taken to the streets. Incredible.
I want to thank them, I want to see them in cities and stadiums. This will be an incredible year.
Al Khelaifi: I think everyone knows our goals. We want to win all trophies and competitions. This will never change. With Leo, we are about to win, but we still want to win more. We need to work hard to win every game and trophy.
Everything that happened to me last week was very strange. It has been tough and emotional. I cannot forget my life and experience in Barcelona, but I am happy with this new life. I am very happy.
About when he can debut
Actually I don’t know. I’m on vacation, it’s very new. I talked to a technician yesterday. Maybe I need a preseason game myself. I am about to start training, I hope I can play as soon as possible. But I cannot answer this question accurately.
Playing with Neymar and Mbappé
It’s really crazy, I’m really happy. Share daily life with them and the team. This team is incredible. I really want to train and play now because I will play with the best players. This is an incredible experience.
Messi: I am very happy. You all know how I withdrew from Barcelona. After so many years, this is a very difficult time. But when I arrived here, I felt very happy, and I enjoyed my time in Paris from the first minute.
My only wish now is to start training with my new teammates. I still want to win because I wanted to win at the first moment of my career. I want to continue to win championships, that’s why I came to this club.
Al-Khelaifi: I welcome Leo to join the PSG family. I am proud to introduce Leo as a PSG player. For clubs and football, this is a historic day. Everyone knows Leo. He makes football magical and beautiful, and he is the winner.
This is very exciting for our fans around the world. Both parties are very eager to achieve this goal. I think Leo and your family made this happen.
This is just the beginning. The hard work is about to begin now. I believe he will bring us many trophies with his teammates.
