On Friday, the France captain finally announced that he would leave PSG after seven years at the end of the current season. The 25-year-old will finally complete his move as a free agent to La Liga giants Real Madrid.

A day after the attacker’s official announcement, Les Parisiens manager Luis Enrique opened up about the star player’s exit. He spoke highly of the France international while calling him a club legend, although the fans remain divided on the player’s contribution to the club.

Speaking to reporters about the star attacker’s transfer, Luis Enrique said: “He’s wonderful as a player and as a person. He’s a club legend, he’s had seven years so I understand that. As far as Kylian is concerned, these are things that we knew already for a long time and everyone knew it was made public yesterday but that doesn’t change anything.”

The manager also revealed the kind of relationship he shares with the Los Blancos-bound player as he added: “Despite the fact that they wanted to oppose us and despite Kylian’s denials, I can tell you that he is wonderful as a player and as a person. There is still one title to compete for (French Cup final against Lyon) and that is our objective. Then I am convinced that we will be stronger next season regardless of the players who will be present or not.”

The newly crowned French champions will be next seen in action on Monday as they take on Toulouse in a Ligue 1 clash.
