PSG coach Luis Enrique: Mbappe? We're not a couple - he doesn't want to!

PSG coach Luis Enrique insists he and Kylian Mbappe are getting along.

Off contract in June, Mbappe continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid next year.

Enrique said: "As always, a perfect relationship. We are not a couple, but it's almost because he doesn't want to. I don't know why they ask me this question, I am very close to most of my players.

"With Kylian we have always been very close. He always makes jokes and laughs. I also like to laugh. We have a very good relationship with the rest of the players. I hope to see him as long as possible at PSG."

On the Champions League round 16 draw with Real Sociedad, he stated: "I am happy because I really wanted to return to Spain. We wanted to go back and see our loved ones. We know Real Sociedad very well, but also their coach, their fans and the city, which is one of the most beautiful in Spain.

"They finished first in the group, ahead of finalist Inter. It's going to be a very difficult game for us."
