"It's very important to keep a hold of Neymar and Mbappé"

The boss was pleased that the Brazilian didn't go to Barcelona in the summer. It was a gift for PSG, but also a strategic decision for the competition.

It's very important to keep a hold of Neymar and Mbappé. Also Depay at Lyon or Benedetto at Marseille. Or Icardi. A big league needs stars. Football is entertainment and that requires stars", he said about the PSG duo.

Quillot didn't hide the importance of PSG in the country. "They are the driver of French football. But we don't only have PSG. There is Lyon, who have played 20 years in a row in European competition, we have Lille, Nice, Saint-Étienne etc. There are new investors in some clubs; Chinese, Americans, Russians, Englishmen, etc. This demonstrates that French football is attractive, not only because of PSG, but because of other teams too".

The LFP president sees the league "progressing" and has the fixed goal of "catching up with La Liga and the Premier League. We are the country that produces the most talents in the world. Our goal is to keep more talents in France. The national team are the World champions and we need to keep this talent here", he added.
