Luis Enrique was handed over the charge at PSG following the departure of Christophe Galtier. Enrique already brought in a number of players with the likes of Ousmane Dembele and Milan Skriniar to bolster their strengths. PSG's foremost priority will be to do well in the UEFA Champions League, as the premier tournament has eluded them now for a number of years.
In a massive move, PSG manager Luis Enrique now confirmed that the 24-year-old will be available for the upcoming league game against Toulouse. Mbappe already entered the final year of his contract and if the situation remains the same, he could sign a pre-contract with any club in January.
