Open Extended Reactions
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique declined to comment on the news that Kylian Mbappé will leave the club at the end of this season when he spoke to reporters on Friday.
ESPN reported on Thursday that Mbappé has informed PSG of his intention to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season, with sources saying Real Madrid are expecting to sign the forward, who is one off the most coveted stars in the sport.

However, at a news conference on Friday it was obvious the PSG manager would not be making a comment on Mbappé's departure.
"No. I can't say anything," Luis Enrique said.
He was then asked if he was worried about the player's commitment for the rest of the season, but the manager made it clear this was a topic not up for discussion.
"I am going to try to bring this topic to an end. I don't have any comments to make," the manager said.
"The parties involved haven't yet said anything publicly, Kylian Mbappé hasn't said anything publicly.
"When both parties speak, I will give my opinion."
Sources at Madrid insist that the player has still not responded to the offer reported by ESPN weeks ago, although they hope Mbappé will reply soon, believing they have done all they can to convince him to join.
