PSG sporting director Leonardo has spoken with Le Parisien about team strikers Kylian Mbappe and Neymar’s progress of contract extension talks.
On Mbappe
“I was surprised by some of the judgments about Kylian. He has his own way of doing things. Every time his position in the team becomes more and more important. He already has responsibilities and stability and a clear course.”
“We are communicating with him, negotiations have been going on for a long time. Our position is clear, we know what we want. Soon the moment will come when a final decision will be made. The start of communication has been promising.”
On Neymar
“We are communicating with him as well. We’re on the right track, but the new contract hasn’t been signed yet. It’s a pleasure to deal with him. Our aim is to reach an agreement as soon as possible. The same goes for Angel Di Maria and Juan Bernat. We want to extend the contracts of all these players.”
“To a lesser extent, we have discussed extending Draxler’s deal, as he has had fewer opportunities to take to the pitch in previous years. He is still an important player for our team.”
