Luis Enrique Confirms: Dembele Deal 99% Complete for PSG

Luis Enrique said Friday he hoped “an agreement can be found” with Kylian Mbappe as Paris Saint-Germain look set to open their Ligue 1 campaign without the French superstar.

The former Barcelona and Spain boss is preparing for his first season in charge at PSG after replacing Christophe Galtier in July.

“This situation has already existed (between PSG and Mbappe),” the Spaniard told a pre-match press conference in Paris ahead of his team’s Ligue 1 opener against Lorient on Saturday.

“A positive solution had been found with the club before my arrival. I hope that the club and the player will find an agreement.
