Free next June, the 25-year-old Parisian striker took stock of his future on Wednesday, after the victory in the Champions Trophy against Toulouse FC (2-0).
Victory at the Champions Trophy : «We are very happy, we wanted to start the year with this trophy. It’s important to keep this positive spiral in terms of finals and trophies. It was a match that was not simple, but we made it a little less complicated, we’ll say… And afterward, we were able to control it, even if we had moments of trouble. For a restart match, it was still satisfactory. We are happy to go home with the cup.»
His decision about his future : «Already, I am motivated, very motivated for this year, it is very important. We have titles to look for and we have already taken one. Afterwards, no, I haven’t made my decision. I didn’t make a choice. But with the agreement I made with the president this summer, whatever the decision, we managed to protect all parties and the serenity of the club for the challenges to come. It is the most important. (on his decision) We will say that it is secondary.»

My situation today, no one talks about it inside the club.

Query timing : «I do not know. It was the end of May in 2022 because I didn’t know until the end of May! If I know what I want to do, why hang around? It wouldn’t make any sense. But as I said, the most important thing is really the titles. We won a trophy and we are really determined. We have a young group who wants to win trophies. The team and the group are looking towards that. My situation today, no one talks about it inside the club. Not many people are interested. What interests a lot of people is that I can help the team win trophies, like I did today.»
PSG’s areas of progress : «It’s normal, you always have to improve. The coach arrived with clear ideas… but with a lot of ideas. It takes time to digest all that, no matter how good the players are. But I think we’re starting to see things that are interesting. I don’t know about you, what it looks like from the outside. I think it’s much more structured. We see it at the level of the structure, the offensive organization, the schemes… We see that there is something emerging, right? Then maybe I’m crazy (smile).»

When I speak with Luis Enrique, he says that a good player can play in several positions. I think I’m a good player.

Its positioning : «When I speak with him, he says that a good player can play in several positions. I think I’m a good player (smile)… I played several positions this year and that’s it (laughs). Today, I play in the center. But what is good is that no matter what position I play, where we play, it adapts according to the qualities of the player. Which means that we are not disoriented. Whether he wants me to play on the left, in the center or on the right, I will play, and I think I would have no problem performing.»
The link between more freedom on the ground and its future : «What’s the connection, I didn’t understand! Because before I wasn’t important? I have always been important! Even more ? No, not even more, I am in the continuity of what I have been since I arrived in Paris.»
