“For me, it was an obvious decision. I didn’t even need to think about it. I feel at home here, and as soon as I had the chance to stay, there was no hesitation.”
“I’ve been here for six years now, so I’ve improved a lot. When I arrived, it was the first time I’d joined a big club. I wanted to experience that. Now that I’ve been through it, I’m even more keen to stay because I understand the club’s vision, and it has also become my personal goal. I want to bring even more success and trophies to this club.”
“There are several that have stuck with me, whether they’re good or bad. Without going too far back, the match at the Accor Arena against Nantes last May, which saw us win the league, made a deep impression on me. I’ll remember it for a long time. ”
“It’s impressive. When I first arrived, I just wanted to enjoy the moment. I didn’t necessarily think I’d stay this long. I'm really proud; Paris Saint-Germain is special. It’s a huge thing to realise that I’m up there alongside players like Mikkel Hansen, Luka and Nikola Karabatic, and even Patrice Annonay in terms of who has played the most matches.”
“I’m pleased to be so high up in the standings, but it’s just a footnote for me. It’s not a personal goal; what matters is winning titles and what we manage to achieve together as a team. Of course, I’ll try to keep climbing the standings because that will mean I’m helping the team. That’s the most important thing, and that’s why I’m here.”
“I think there’s perhaps been a shift in mindset compared to last season. The team has managed to develop a real winning mentality. We’ve always had the ambition to win, but now we really want to give the opposition no chance and make the difference early on. I also think we’ve managed to stay more focused so far this season.”
“I’d say my personal objective is to keep performing well so I can secure another contract extension here! As a team, we’re always aiming to keep winning every trophy we can claim. This year brings a new challenge with the introduction of the play-offs. Not to mention the Coupe de France, which we haven’t won for a few years, and of course the Champions League. It’s a dream we’ve all had for a long time.”
“Given my experience, if I can help and make the new lads realise what it means to play for a club like Paris Saint-Germain, I’ll do so.”
“I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be staying here until 2029. It’s a dream come true for me to stay in Paris for another two years, and I’m proud to continue wearing these colours!”
