Many were surprised at the start of this summer when Kylian Mbappe decided to remain at Paris Saint-Germain and Erling Haaland singled outManchester City as his new destination. The latter was linked with the Spanish giants for a long time before signing a contract with the current English Premier League champions.

In addition, Kylian Mbappe, a long-term goal of the Whites, chose to sign a new contract with PSG this summer. However,a result of the signings of Antonio Rudiger from Chelsea and Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco, Carlo Ancelotti hasbolstered hisdefensive midfield options this season.

In the meantime, decisions need to be made onMarco Asensio whose contract expires next year, after the departure of Gareth Bale, Marcelo, Isco, and Luka Jovic. Dani Ceballos must also determine whether he wants to play regularly or not.However, in spite of everything,strength and balance are already in plenty in the team.

“I can’t talk about signings, but I have already said that it’s all over. We are not going to sign anyone. We are fine as we are. Tchouameniand Rydiger will bring a lot of quality to the squad. Rudiger is a great centre-back who can play in different positions, while Tchouameni is the same as a midfielder.

“He is younger but is already playing for the France national team. Competition in the squad is the key to success. They both only arrived today. Of course, they will need some time to adapt, but not too much since they have so much quality.”
