On loan again since July, the Dutch winger shines in the red and white colors of Leipzig and prefers to live day by day, without thinking about next season.

After the season, all parties will talk to each other and discuss the events. I am very happy here. »

At the end of the season he will return to PSG and we will then have the opportunity to ask for a new loan. »
His good first half of the season with the German club did not escape PSG’s Spanish coach, Luis Enrique, when asked last week at a press conference: “He’s a PSG player, it’s obvious that we follow it closely. I don’t want to say too much, I respect Leipzig but we are in contact. » A new summer file for PSG in close connection with another big soap opera in the Parisian attack: the announced departure of Kylian Mbappé.
