There must have been something deep in some discussions. I saw some people calling him. Apparently, when the president called him to stay, it was crazy. Hope this shows where the PSG wants to go because normally one thing is certain: when you play for a big club, you don’t move away from a big club; the big club gets rid of you when you’re old. When you’re still in your prime, you don’t leave. He decided to stay. He has the club, obviously, in his heart. People will talk about what he’s going to get in terms of money and power, but I like to think that if you think about something that long, the money would have come anywhere anyway, wherever. he went, but he wanted to stay. »
