[OSEN=강필주 기자] Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger selected Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as the Champions League champion. He also stressed that Killian Mbafe (23) and Neymar (29) should be captured at the same time.
In an interview with global media’Bein Sports’ on the 17th, former manager Wenger warned that “PSG is one of the champions’ champions,” and “but Mbafe can leave with a free agent in 2022.”
On this day, PSG won 4-1 with Mbafe’s hat-trick ahead in the 2020-2021 European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) first leg away match against Barcelona held at Camp Nous in Barcelona, Spain at dawn on the 17th (Korean time) did.
With Mbafe’s big success, PSG gained a big win and stepped closer to the quarterfinals, so they can afford to play in the 2nd leg home game on the 11th of next month. Mbafe said that although transfer rumors such as Real Madrid and Liverpool have been raised, it is carefully considering re-signing with PSG.
Wenger, who watched the game, explained to Mbafe, whose contract expires in 2022: “If he doesn’t extend his contract in 2021, PSG must sell Mbafe or let him free in 2022.”
“The PSG has to extend the contract with Neymar and Mbafe. The contract will be very, very expensive. The question is, can PSG convince them and pay them? Because they are together “Because you have to sign it.”
Like Mbafe, Neymar, whose contract expires in 2022, is receiving a weekly wage of £600,000 (about 900 million won). However, due to a thigh injury, he was unable to participate in the game. /[email protected]
