“Normally, teams that need something more, which is not the case for us

honestly looking for an opportunity rather than a big investment.

The job of a sports director is heavy because it's 24 hours a day on the phone, moving around and seeing with your players.

"Xavi Simons wants to stay"

Unsurprisingly, Leonardo also spoke again of the club's ultimate ambition, the Champions League.

For him, it will inevitably end up falling into the hands of the club:

“When you look at our squad today, you tell yourself it's a dream.

We represent something unique in the world.

People talk a lot but no one has had what we have for 10 years.

The last shot is certainly missing and I think it will happen… You have to overcome the idea that you have never won the Champions League.

We have to do a job in our heads.

I don't see a limit.

We do not have the track record of certain teams, but we have the structure, the quality and the organization.

Paris is a special city, compared to what it represents.

There is a lot of distraction, it takes your concentration off a bit.

Leonardo also returned to the case of Xavi Simons, the young PSG hope requested by Barcelona and who does not play enough to his liking with the pros.

Some say he is in demand from Barca, where he previously played.

Leonardo, there too, has a strong opinion on this matter: “he wants to stay, and it is normal that he wants a sports project.

»About the playing time claimed by Xavi Simons, Leonardo specifies: It is difficult to give him, to say that tomorrow it will be that, in a month that, in a wonderful year.

Impossible.

But today the regulations put the club in a vulnerable position
